Hello all and welcome to the revised and updated Maine Chapter IAAI web site.

I would first like to thank Dan and his brother Keith, who worked hard and long to update this site for us. They have done a great job, at the request of the Board of Directors, in updating this website. The site is much easier to navigate and has updated graphics.

This site will allow us to better serve you as the members and visitors to our site. Training flyers and applications will be posted, as well as archives of newsletters. Membership information will also be posted here, so that you can see what is happening with the Maine Chapter. Please feel free to make comments on the site and the chapter to any officer or director. Remember, this is your organization, we, as officers, are here to serve your needs and requests.

We are all going to feel the effects of the gasoline and heating oil prices, both in our own budgets, but in our public safety responses as well. Please remember if you or your family uses alternate heating sources, to use them properly and safely. I hope that you all have a safe and happy holiday season.

I hope to see you at a future training seminar.
