GASOLINE AND SUPPLIES

Gasoline is not available anywhere in the KI Jo-Mary Forest. It can be purchased in Greenville, Dover-Foxcroft, Milo, Brownville, Brownville Jct., and Millinocket. Remember to fill up before you enter the area. Auxiliary gasoline must be transported in fire safe containers.

Limited quantities of food and other supplies can be purchased at the Jo-Mary Campground. To be sure you have the quantity and selection of supplies you need, however, we recommend shopping before arrival. Most items, as well as public telephones and post offices are available in the surrounding communities mentioned above.

EMERGENCIES

The spirit of friendship and cooperation is deep among outdoors people and most are willing to help, should you get into trouble. Always come prepared to be completely on your own, however, since help may be many miles away.

The KI Jo-Mary Forest checkpoints have radio and/or telephone contact with the outside world and each other. The staff is not specifically trained to provide Emergency Medical Services, but they can summon help during an emergency. Please remember: Checkpoints are not staffed during the late fall, winter, and early spring.

IN CASE OF FOREST FIRE:

• Do not panic.
• Contact the nearest checkpoint immediately. Landowner foresters or logging contractors can also help.
• Report the location of the fire, what is burning, and the approximate size of the fire. The time you first observed the fire and any other specific information you can provide are also extremely helpful.
• If the checkpoints are closed for the season, contact the Maine Forest Service directly or notify the nearest forester or logging contractor.
