The day before the one-year anniversary of the shootings, I learned of Ben Dyer and his story of survival and resilience. As President of the Lewiston Firefighters, the year following the shooting was occupied with ensuring all of our members who were present that evening were able to access whatever services they needed. As we approached the one-year anniversary, it was time for the department and those who responded to reclaim some sense of normalcy, as much as could be expected in light of the tragedy that unfolded for these 17 firefighters.
