Lebanon Fire Team Responds to Two Separate Calls for Downed Power Lines.

Fire Call - Indian lake Drive - Caller heard loud bang and now theres no power.

Lebanon Rescue Department - Command Central Small tree came down on a power line in someone's yard. cmp is responding. Fire held all apparatus in quarters and a junior firefighter responded to check It out

TRUTH was received when I spoke to Chief Dan Meehan this evening at 6:30 pm.

Downed Power Line calls from 7/9/15

Fire Call for Downed Power Lines number 1. (the one reported by Lebanon Rescue Department - Command Central as shown above).

The Fire call at Indian Lake Shores came in. Within only a few moments, Lebanon Level 1 Firefighter J.T. Harmon was on the scene.
There were lines down due to a small tree that had come down, it was in someone's private driveway and of no danger to the public.
Several Lebanon Firefighters responded to the Depot Road Fire Station, and waited there in case there was any problem.
CMP was alerted and responded to the scene, where they repaired the wires.
Firefighter Harmon returned to the station.

Downed Power Line Call number 2. (the one not reported by Lebanon Rescue Department - Command Central at all)

This call came in for downed power lines on Jim Grant Road, a tree branch had knocked the lines down and they were in the roadway.
Both Chief Dan Meehan and Level 1 Firefighter J.T. Harmon responded to the scene in Lebanon Fire Engine 2.
After assessing the scene and determining it was not safe for traffic to pass, the station was alerted and Firefighter Josh Gagnon responded to the scene in C1, the Ford Expedition that the Chief uses.
Firefighter Gagnon blocked one end of Jim Grant Road with C1 and Engine 2 blocked the road from the opposite direction.
CMP responded and the lines were repaired.
All vehicles returned to the Fire Station on Depot Road.

No photos were available for Harmon or Gagnon, but neither are Junior Firefighters. Both have earned firefighting certifications.

I implore you all to stop going into panic mode when you read the reports from the "other" pages. Your Fire and EMS Chief is very competent, as are the Firefighters he entrusts with your lives and property. All calls are handled in a safe and professional manner. If there are any Junior Firefighters or EMTs on a scene, they are always under the direct supervision of a more experienced Firefighter or EMT.

The number of panic calls that we receive at the Lebanon Truth Seekers is alarming in itself. Please stop believing the rhetoric and scare tactics, residents of Lebanon. If you have any questions, please feel free to message us, or you can even call Chief Meehan yourself. The Chief has made himself available to every resident of Lebanon who has asked to have a word with him. Feel free to phone the Chief or stop by the station and see him at any time with any questions or concerns.
