The island is larger than it looks and larger than most people think. There is a road system and a seasonal water system.(no hydrants) We have a small dedicated volunteer Fire Dept operating two fire trucks and a small utility vehicle. The ferry service ceases normal operations in the case of a fire and does nothing but transport emergency vehicles such as the mutual aid companies that came over for this event from Raymond.
Being an island, we are one of the last priorities for power repair. CMP showed up the next morning to replace the pole.
