WESTMANLAND, Maine (AP) Maine state officials say rising waters are a problem in a tiny town in far northern Maine where at least one person had to be evacuated by airboat.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife says game wardens used the airboat on Friday in Westmanland to evacuate one woman and bring supplies to others. Westmanland is a town of 62 people near Canada.
The agency says rising water levels on Madawaska Stream have isolated some people in their homes due to rains and higher temperatures. At least one road was rendered impassable.
The National Weather Service in Caribou also issued a flood advisory on Monday for minor flooding in poor rain and snowmelt drainage areas in northeastern Aroostook County in northern Maine. Westmanland is in that area.
