In the last hour, Maine Forest Service aircraft stopped at KLEW for jet fuel as part of the ongoing firefighting response. The flight line team at KLEW is proud to support the Maine Forest Rangers as they respond to a forest fire just north of the City of Lewiston, Maine in the Town of Greene, Maine.
Moments like this highlight the important role our airport plays as a regional public safety asset supporting emergency response, wildfire suppression, medical flights, law enforcement, and other critical missions when our communities need them most.
We’re grateful to the Maine Forest Service and all responding agencies working to protect lives, property, and natural resources.
KLEW is more than a "local" airport , it is essential infrastructure for southern and western Maine.
