On Thursday, March 5, 2009, Portland Local 740 members received Senate recognition for their first place finish in the "Race Up Boston Place" competition. The 9-member team was among 600 participants from 25 departments in the fund raiser for the American Lung Association. The team climbed 83 flights of stairs in full gear with a time of 46 minutes and 7 seconds. Senator Justin Alfond of Portland sponsored the Legislative Sentiment and spoke on the floor of the Senate about the accomplishment of the team. On hand to receive the proclamation were, from left, Senator Alfond, FF John Hardy, Lt. Mike Nixon, FF Lenny Tracey, and FF James Westburg. Other team members who climbed included FF Ryan Thomson, FF John Brennan, FF Ryan Walsh, Captain Keith Gautreau, and FF Jason Perry of South Portland Local 1476. The Professional Fire Fighters of Maine would like to extend their congratulations to the entire team for the great effort towards a worthy cause. Well done brothers.
