RANDOLPH, ME – U.S. Senator Susan Collins joined town officials, firefighters, and residents in Randolph today to cut the ribbon and tour the town’s new fire station. In addition to serving the local community, the Randolph Volunteer Fire Department provides mutual aid to Pittston, Farmingdale, Chelsea, Gardiner, West Gardiner, Hallowell, and Togus VA Medical Center. In 2024, Senator Collins secured $2.6 million through her role on the Senate Appropriations Committee to support the construction of the new Randolph Volunteer Fire Station. “The people of Randolph worked together for more than a decade to make this new fire station a reality, and I was proud to support their efforts by helping secure $2.6 million in federal funding,” said Senator Collins. “This beautiful new facility reflects the town’s careful planning, dedication, and commitment to its first responders, and I look forward to continuing our partnership to strengthen public safety in Randolph and throughout the State of Maine.” Built approximately 80 years ago, Randolph’s former fire station had serious structural problems and was too small to adequately accommodate modern fire trucks. The new station has three bays designed to accommodate modern fire trucks and includes a community meeting room, a dedicated training area, and shower and restroom facilities for firefighters. The station will also serve as the town’s emergency shelter. ### | 1 | 2026-07-12T07:28:31Z | 2026-07-12T07:30:18Z |
