East Deering Fire Station

Today marks the final shift with the department for Lieutenant Glenn Gorden. Lt. Gorden joined the department in August 2011 and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in March 2019. He was most recently assigned to Engine 11 on Platoon 2. In his over 14 years of service to the department, Lt. Gorden garnered a reputation for his hard work, team focus, intelligence and experience.

We thank Lt. Gorden for his dedication to the department and the City of Portland, Maine and wish him the best of luck as Topsham Fire's new chief!

On July 14, 1996 Engine Co. 11 was assigned this Freightliner / Ferrara FLD 112 commercial chassis 4-door cab 1,250gpm pumper, with a 1,000 gallon tank. By November of 1999 it would be replaced with a Pierce Saber. The Ferrara would be nicknamed "The Beast From The East".
