Plymouth Station 5 Shutdown

Plymouth Fire Department has recently shut down the Manomet Fire Station #5.
The closing is due to recent changes in the minimum manning and budget problems in the town.  Plymouth has 7 fire stations covering about 96 square miles and a population of over 50,000.  The shut down is posted as "temporary" but there are concerns that if/when the Manomet station reopens, one of the other stations would be closed.
With the shutdown, response districts have been adjusted and apparatus reassigned to other stations.  For more info....

Plymouth Fire Department Dispatch
Plymouth Fire Department recently upgraded its radios, antenna, and related
communications equipment.  A new Motorola Centracom Gold Elite system
enables dispatching with click of a mouse on computer screen.

The communication room is in the right front of Plym HQ.

Fall 2002

Middleboro FD will move into the new Middleboro North Fire Station in Sept 2002.
The new Station #3 is located on Bedford Street (Route 18) just north of the Route 44
rotary circle.  The new station has 3 non-drive-thru bays and basic living quarters.
The new station, upon opening in Sept, will be occupied by apparatus and 
personnel from the Middleboro Central Station which will be razed this fall to make room
for a new 12,000 sq ft Central Station.

Middleboro Central Station will be torn down and a new station built on the
same site over the next year.  Photo Sept 5, 2002.

The New Middleborough Headquarters Station opened
in Feb 2004 on the site of the old station.

Plymouth Fire Department New Station #3

New Plymouth Sta.3 was to have opened July 2002.
Not yet occupied as of Sept 5, 2002.

Plymouth's New Station 3 - Pine Hills Station - located on a new road just off of Exit 3 east of Route 3 is nearly complete.  It looks very much like the recently built Cedarville Station #6.  The station will probably not be occupied for a while however, since the road into it and the area around it are  still under construction.  This will bring Plymouth to 7 stations.  Dec 3, 2001.

Wareham EMS New Station

April 20, 2001
Wareham EMS personnel move into their new spacious quarters at 72 Sandwich Road, Wareham. The recently renovated building was formerly used for marine business.
The two bays have room for all three of Wareham's ambulances and more.
The large living area includes male/female facilities, a big kitchen and day room,
medical supply rooms, and plenty of office space.

Wareham EMS formerly ran out of a small station behind the Wareham Police Station.
