Most of #HollisME burned down as well!
The Year a State Burned: #Maine Fires of 1947 Wipe Out 9 Towns
It also destroyed half of Acadia National Park and many Bar Harbor mansions
"An eight-mile-long wall of fire burned in #Kennebunkport. In #NorthWaterboro, nearly 60 residents and volunteers were trapped for more than an hour behind a line of fire before escaping.
"In #YorkCountyME, the fires destroyed most of the homes in #Shapleigh and #Waterboro. then swept toward the sea and consumed swathes of #Alfred, #Lyman, #Newfield, Kennebunk, #Kennebunkport, #Arundel, #Dayton, #Wells, #Biddeford and #Saco."

#Wildfire in nearby #WaterboroMaine right now. Back in 1947, an unusually dry summer led to devastating fires, with nine towns wiped out!
The Year a State Burned: Maine Fires of 1947 Wipe Out 9 Towns
Warning signs of the #Maine fires appeared as early as March. An abnormally warm spring caused snow to melt early in the woods. Mid-July to October were unusually #dry, with 108 consecutive days without rain.

#KennebunkportMaine officials warn against swimming in #BatsonRiver and #LittleRiver due to bacteria
July 24, 2024
"#Kennebunkport officials have issued an advisory, asking people to avoid swimming and other water-based activities in the Batson and Little rivers at #GooseRocksBeach.
"Officials say in addition to repeated results showing human bacteria in the Batson and Little rivers, the most recent testing has shown elevated levels of #enterococci bacteria in these rivers.
"The town says they have increased their weekly testing at the Batson and Little river sites to twice weekly.
"Earlier this month, another advisory was issued for the #KennebunkRiver. The town's #wastewater treatment facility has not been working properly and they had no choice but to put the partially treated waste into the Kennebunk River."

Love KPT
The Spirit of Massachusetts docked at Arundel Warf in Kennebunkport, Maine. On November 19, 2014, the historic schooner was moved from Portland to her new home on the Kennebunk River. It now serves as a floating restaurant, and pictures perfectly with the Boathouse Restaurant and Hotel.

#Contamination warnings issued for 5 #MaineBeaches heading into Labor Day weekend
John Terhune, Portland Press Herald, Maine
September 1, 2023"Contaminated waters could hinder #beach adventures from York to Camden this Labor Day weekend.
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued contamination warnings for five Maine beaches after finding elevated levels of #fecalbacteria.
"The affected beaches are #WillardBeach in #SouthPortland, #GooseRocksBeach in #Kennebunkport, #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunk, #CapeNeddickBeach in #YorkMaine and #LaiteBeach in #CamdenMaine. Total beach closures are rare in Maine, and as of Friday night all five affected beaches remained open.
"The presence of enterococci bacteria suggests water also may contain other harmful bacteria, #viruses or #parasites, according to the DEP's Maine Healthy Beaches program, which tracks water quality at public beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Contact with contaminated water can cause flu-like symptoms, #gastrointestinal issues, rashes and #infection.
"Beachgoers are advised to avoid areas with contamination warnings.
"Laite Beach in Camden, which had more than 26 times more fecal bacteria than the threshold deemed safe, was the most contaminated beach on Friday night, according to DEP data."

Group warns of potentially polluted water identified at #MaineBeaches
Maine Public | By Caty DuDevoir
Published July 11, 2023 at 2:39 PM EDT"Thirty-six beaches in Maine were considered potentially unsafe for swimming on at least one day of #bacteria testing in 2022, according to a recent report.
"Sewage overflows and runoff pollution contaminated the waters surrounding multiple popular swimming spots such as #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunkport and #FerryBeach in #Scarborough.
"John Rumpler is the clean water director at the Environment Maine Research & Policy Center who co-authored the report.
"When we pave over everything with #ParkingLots, #StripMalls and big #roadways, that water has nowhere to go, so it sweeps up all the #pollution on the surface and pulls it right into nearby #rivers, #streams, and #coastalwaters, or overwhelms our combined sewage systems,' Rumpler says.
"Rumpler says that preserving the state's #wetlands can restore and expand the land's natural capacity to absorb rain water, and continuing to repair #sewage #infrastructure across the state is a step in the right direction.
"With the heavy precipitation these last few weeks, Rumpler is worried that pollution levels may be higher.
"Beach water quality updates can be found on the Maine Department of Environmental Protection website."
