Are you currently a Maine resident or are you looking to move to the state? Do you want to ride the meat wagon? Most of the departments are combination career/call, even more have all call guys with maybe 1-3 guys that work days. There are not too many ALL career departments.

My wife and I were talking about it the other day(moving to Maine). I live in Pa right now..not really intrested in doing the ambulance thing Id rather do a career type job..

Then you have little hope of obtaining a career firefighting position.

Waterville does all fire, but responds to medicals with the rescue. So that may be a start. They are one of the larger departments.

Well it is a very nice place to live let me give you the break down of Depts again.

Porland (largest city)- Fire & EMS you will be on the Ambulance.

Lewiston (2nd Largest)-ALL FIRE very limited EMS only to Cardiac Arrest and MVA's ect. No Ambulance.

Bangor (3rd Largest) Your going to medic school and will be on the Ambulance.

South Portland-Ambulance

Sanford-Hires Medics to run the Ambulance so you wouldnt have to do it there.

Wells-Town runs it's own Ambulance.

Saco/Biddeford/Old Orchard-Ambulance

Scarborough-Ambulance

Auburn-Just got rid of the Ambulance!!!

Augusta-Ambulance

Rockland-Ambulance

Brunswick/Bath- Ambulance

Waterville-No Ambulance but when I tested there in 2006 the pay was awful not sure if it changed at all.

Portland is a great job I would definatly test there but they just tested so it will like 2 years I think. Lewiston, Auburn, Sanford, Wells, Waterville is probably what you want to look into if you don't want much EMS. Budgets have been a problem just like everyone else in the country and there have been layoff's but most of these places have recently hired or will be shortly. I work in Lewiston I've been there 4 years any questions hit me up.
