About Brooks Equipment Services

Island Falls takes its name from the falls on the Mattawamkeag River, where the water breaks around a small island. A young Theodore Roosevelt once came here to tramp these woods in winter, and the cold that met him still grips southern Aroostook every year. Brooks Equipment Services handles snow removal in Island Falls, plowing out driveways and dooryards while the town sleeps. At four in the morning the only light on the road may be an amber beacon, carving a clean lane through the drifts. By breakfast the banks stand square, the drive is open down to the gravel, and Island Falls can go about its day.
