Volunteer Fire Department

The Mapleton, Castle Hill, & Chapman Fire Deptartment has Carbon Monoxide alarms and Smoke Detectors available at the Town Office. Smoke Detectors should have 1 per floor. Only 1 carbon monoxide alarm per household. While supplies last. If you have any questions, please contact the Town Office or Fire Chief, Adam Rider.

Volunteers Need!!! Like many departments across the State and Country we need people willing to serve the community. We could use help from people who live in our communities and especially if you are available during the day during the week. If you feel you could spare some time to join the department, we would like to talk to you. Stop by the Town Office and fill out an application or give me a call for more information.

Please remember that all open burning requires a burn permit. Permits may be obtained at the Town Office, the Fire Chief, Adam Rider, or Assistant Fire Chief, Robby Gross. East Chapman residents may receive a permit from Tib Caron.

All permittees must call for permission to burn otherwise you will be in violation of the permit. The numbers to call will be on your permit. ONLY WOOD MAY BE BURNED!!!! The Maine Forest Service is strictly enforcing open burning laws if you are caught burning prohibited material such as garbage or cardboard you may face fines and penalties under the law.
