March 3, 2002

Last year, funding was approved to renovate and add to the Headquarters at its present location.  The 1926 structure will remain and be renovated.  The rescue barn will be torn down. A new addition will be added to the rear of the station facing King Street.

The construction began with demolition of part of the Rescue Barn making room for a future radio antenna.  This was followed by the moving of a house on adjacent property on King Street to make room for the addition and future ramp.  

During completion, several apparatus formerly housed at the Headquarters site was reassigned to other Falmouth Stations, primarily Woods Hole #2 and East Falmouth #5.

When completed, the new bays will house the Ladder Truck now housed in Woods Hole due to height restrictions in the present Headquarters.  Other apparatus will also be reassigned when construction is completed.  Work is expected to take approximately 2 years.
