Warden Joshua Tibbetts Thank you for your dedicated service to The State Of Maine you will never be forgotten. Rest easy Warden Tibbetts

Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is heartbroken to share that Game Warden Pilot Joshua Tibbetts died this morning in a plane crash in Avon, ME.

Game Warden Pilot Tibbetts served the people of Maine as a Maine Game Warden for 18 years, including the last three years as a pilot for Maine Warden Service. In that role, his specialized aviation work supported search and rescue, law enforcement, fisheries and wildlife conservation, and public safety across the state.

This is an incredibly difficult loss for his family, friends, colleagues, and the entire Maine Warden Service. We ask the public to keep his loved ones, his fellow Game Wardens, and all those affected by this tragedy in their thoughts in the days ahead.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing. The Department will cooperate fully with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board.

We are grateful for the emergency personnel who responded to the scene and for the support already being shown to the Maine Warden Service family.

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of active Firefighter William "Bill" Avery, who passed away following a sudden medical event on February 11, 2026.
Bill joined our ranks in 2022 and quickly became a vital part of our team. Whether it was responding to calls at all hours or stepping up for community PR events, Bill’s dedication was unmatched. He never hesitated to take on a task, no matter how big or small, and his commitment to the citizens of Belgrade and beyond was evident in everything he did.
Bills Service to the department and community will not be forgotten, and a hole in our ranks will be deeply felt.

Rest easy, Bill. We have the watch from here. Town of Belgrade, Maine
