Brewster has a considerable shoreline along Cape Cod Bay. There are however, no deep water harbors in town. So the BFD recently placed in service a 21 foot Sea Ox rescue boat that is being kept in the water at Sesuit Harbor, Dennis for use in any Cape Cod Bay water responses.

Brewster Fire & Rescue Station

March 2006

BREWSTER FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Brewster Police and Fire Station on Route 6A has become simply the Brewster Fire & Rescue Headquarters. The station, built in 1974, was vacated by the Police department upon completion of Brewster's new Police Station. The fire department has grown considerably in recent years and will continue to do so as the Town of Brewster grows. The BFD will likely use the former police half of the station for administrative and living space. Smaller vehicles may use the former cruiser bays of the police station. More to follow...
