Veazie volunteer firefighters ``training''


Spring brushpile

Last Sunday, part of a train carrying product from the now-closed paper mill in Old Town went into the Penobscot after derailing at a curve in Bangor, just a couple of miles from here. It was pretty spectacular, with a fire starting in some of the cars carrying the paper.

Meanwhile, we're piling up another sort of jetsam from the yard at the side of the road. The town does a spring brush pickup, but it's hard to predict when they'll actually get over here. It could be the next week, or it could be a month from now before they haul this away.

Note that some rain, even some snow, this week has alleviated the fire danger.
