About Bruce
Recently Bruce Woodward, fire chief in Rockport, retired as an instructor for Maine Fire Training and Education after 25 years of providing training to local firefighters. Bruce has and continues to educate his peers in the latest advancements in fire suppression techniques. His training has saved lives and minimized property damage at fires in the midcoast region. In his honor a scholarship has been formed to bring specialized training to area firefighters. Bruce has served as chief of the Rockport, Maine fire department since 1971.
About the Committe
A scholarship committee has been formed representing the Woodward family, local and state fire officials with over a hundred years of combined experience in the fire service. Since a majority of Bruce’s teaching has occurred within the Knox County Mutual Aid communities, this scholarship will directly benefit the communities in Knox County, Lincolnville, Waldoboro, and the Penobscot Bay Islands.
