Hyannis Looses A Friend

Hyannis Fire Department
Regrets to announce the passing of 12 year Hyannis Fire Department
Mascot and Dalmatian "C.J." on Saturday June 25, 2005.
C.J. had become quite sick in recent months and firefighters had to
make the difficult decision recently to euthanize the station mascot.
C.J. will be missed by all the guys and the many children who looked
forward to seeing "The Fire Dog" on visits to the fire station.

Hyannis Fire Radio - 868.2125
Hyannis FD had a number of concerns with the Cape's 800 mhz trunked radio system. In building coverage was not satisfactory in a number of major buildings within Hyannis including Cape Cod Hospital, the Cape Cod Mall, Barnstable High School, and others. As a result Hyannis experimented with a number of options ranging from low band repeaters to 400 mhz to 800 mhz options. Hyannis has now (June 2002) begun simulcasting its communications on both 33.94 and a NEW 868.2125 conventional channel. Hyannis retains its 800 mhz trunked talkgroup as well as its 460.625 channel. More to follow.... June 2002.

Hyannis Fire Department - Busiest on Cape!

Hyannis runs with 11 personnel per shift, one of them serving as a dispatcher.

Hyannis Tower 829 displays the colors in the weeks following Sept 11, 2001. Several HYFD personnel responded as part of MA-TF1 FEMA team to the WTC spending 8 days at ground zero.

Hyannis Man Burned in Housefire

Hyannis Fire Department responded to a house fire at approximately 0900 hours on April 2, 2002. Police reportedly were first to arrive at the house located on Winter Street at the corner of Chestnut Street. Heavy smoke was coming from a 2nd floor bedroom. Firefighters rescued a male who was severely burned and unconscious. The fire was quickly controlled and the victim was transported to CCH due to a delay in medflight availability. A police officer was also treated for smoke inhalation resulting from initial rescue attempts. COMMFD & Yarmouth FD assisted HYFD.
