BANGOR, Maine – Members of Bangor Fire Department’s “B” Shift, led by Assistant Chief Chandler Corriveau, have been awarded a Unit Citation for Meritorious Conduct by the Penobscot County Fire Chief's Association.
The citation recognizes the crew’s actions during a March 14, 2024 mobile home fire, in which an occupant was reportedly trapped inside the structure.
