​About OBIFD

​The Orr's & Bailey Islands Fire Department serves all of Orr's and Bailey Islands and portions of Great Island east of the Mountain Road bridge and south of Stevens Corner Road on Route 24, including Long Point, and Mountain Road east of the Ewing Narrows bridge.

We are an all-volunteer department, with members serving as firefighters, fire ground support personnel, emergency medical technicians, drivers and community volunteers.

Our Main fire station is located on Harpswell Island Road on Orr's Island. It houses one fire attack pumper truck, a 2,000-gallon water tank truck, a heavy rescue/utility truck and a rescue ambulance.

Another station on Harpswell Island Road on Bailey Island is home to a second fire attack pumper and a brush truck.

​The department responded to 236 calls for help in 2016, the most in at least a decade, following 214 in 2015, 197 in 2014, 198 in 2013 and 222 in 2012. Typically, about two-thirds to three-quarters of the calls are for medical rescue services.

Our Mission:

• Protect lives and property by providing the highest quality emergency medical and fire services to our community members.

Our Philosophy:

• Encourage excellence
