STACYVILLE, Maine — Multiple lithium-ion batteries charging on a shelf at the Stacyville Fire Department caught fire Tuesday night, leading to damage and an injured firefighter. 

It happened shortly before 9 p.m. at the fire station located at 370 Station Rd., the state fire marshal's office said in a release Wednesday.

Fire departments from Sherman, Patten, Mt. Chase, Island Falls, Oakfield, and East Millinocket responded to assist Stacyville firefighters. They were able to quickly knock down the fire, but the building and several pieces of apparatus were damaged.

The state fire marshal's office determined that the fire originated on a shelf inside the station where multiple lithium-ion batteries were charging. Officials said it's considered accidental.

A firefighter was taken to a hospital, treated, and released for a non-fire-related leg injury, the release stated.

This sounds over the top, but after NY, all bets are off
Stay peaceful, demand Trump stay on the ballots, and vote in November
The only way to stop all this from going down is to peacefully fight to keep Trump on all the state ballots, then turn out in historic numbers to vote as part of the Trump tidal wave on November 5th, even if you don’t like Trump or agree with all his policies. This is no longer an election choice between liberal vs. conservative policies; it’s an election choice between the total annihilation of our constitution republic vs. saving it from tyranny.
Above all, do NOT get seduced into acting out any form of physical rage or violence, as you will be provoked many times between now and November.

In Puerto Rico, where people are impoverished, the wind/solar merchants of evil, $convinced the local Mafia to have wind turbines and solar panels, so they could show themselves to the gullible people as “progressive”, be “energy independent”

Then, the first hurricane arrived and wiped out all the wind turbines and solar panels, in addition to the usual damage.

However, the loans incurred to pay for all of it were still held by European banks, who demanded payment.

The people of Puerto Rico were super-screwed up and down and sideways,
Many came to the US to be bailed out by government programs run by idiot-led Democrats, who are in favor of expensive, highly subsidized dysfunctional wind and solar, paid for by printing $billions of dollars

Trump needs to win by a landslide to wipe out all the bull manure of the Obama/Biden years

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
