Schools should be places for learning and making friends — not endless scrolling. Last week at Westbrook High School, I was proud to ceremonially sign Maine’s new statewide “Bell to Bell, No Cell” phone ban, approved by legislators as part of my supplemental budget proposal.

As I told first responders, emergency management leaders, and state and federal officials on Friday during my visit to Searsmont, my Administration and the people of Maine will stand with the Robbins family and all those impacted in the days ahead.

We hold the Robbins family and staff, especially those now receiving care at Mass General, in our hearts and hope for their full recovery as well as the full recovery of the fire and EMT personnel receiving care.

I want to recognize the heroic efforts of all the volunteer firefighters, ambulance crews and the staff at Pen Bay Hospital, Waldo Hospital, LifeFlight and Maine Medical Center, all of whom responded immediately to this mass injury event with great professionalism...

Yesterday, Robbins Lumber shared publicly that James and Alden Robbins, and Alden’s daughter, Lily, were injured in the fire in Searsmont and are receiving care at Mass General in Boston. Another Robbins employee and several first responders continue to receive care in Maine.

I told the Robbins family that Maine people will have their back as they face the challenge ahead. I ask Maine people to keep the Robbins family, their employees, first responders, and the people of Searsmont and Waldo County in their thoughts and prayers.

This afternoon, I visited Searsmont to thank the first responders on scene at Robbins Lumber. For five generations, Robbins Lumber has been a cornerstone of the community and a mainstay of the forest products industry.

I have been briefed on the situation unfolding in Searsmont. I urge folks to stay clear of the area, follow the instructions of law enforcement, and allow emergency personnel to respond. I ask Maine people to join me in keeping all those affected in their thoughts.
