The Pocasset Fire Station 4 has been deemed unsafe to work out of. The
main apparatus floor is over a basement and is no longer safe to park
apparatus on. As a result, only 1 of 3 bays can be used for apparatus.
The department has acquired a trailer to be used for living quarters
that will be at the Monument Beach Station 2, along with the crew and
units previously at Pocasset. . One engine, previously at Station 2,
will be housed at Station 4. Oct 2021

to be located at 350 Paddocks Path. Voters
gave their funding approval December 7, 2021. The planned station will have 3 double

The Pocasset Fire Station 4, built in 1947, with a cellar under the main
apparatus floor
was closed and apparatus relocated to Monument Beach.

Chilmark Fire Dept

FUTURE CHILMARK STATION

Dennis Fire Dept

DENNIS FIRE STATION 2
(Approved - Under Construction)
Dennis Town Meeting approved a $14.6 Million price tag for a new Fire
Station 2
to be located at 350 Paddocks Path on the North side of town.
The meeting was held November 2 , 2021 and the positive vote was a vast
majority.
Dennis voters then approved funding by a large majority on Dec 7, 2021.

June 23, 2022
The foundation under the living section of the new Dennis Station 2 is looking
good.
The construction progress continues.

GROUND BREAKING
The official ground breaking ceremony at the future 350 Paddocks Path
new Fire Station 2 on January 13, 2022.

The site is already being prepared for construction to begin.
Update Dec 31, 2021

Edgartown Fire Dept

EDGARTOWN FIRE STATION
(Discussion 2021)
The Edgartown Fire Department is
starting to look ahead at its options for
expanding or replacing the main Edgartown Fire Station. The present station
on Pease Point Way was built around 1966 and added onto already during the
1980s and again in 2005. The station was never designed for permanent staffing,
larger apparatus, or many of the other requirements of modern facilities.
The following article in the MV Times discussed the situation.
Nov 30, 2021
PLANNING AHEAD

Falmouth Fire Dept

Falmouth Approves Station

HATCHVILLE STATION APPROVED
Falmouth Voters approved funding for a new Hatchville Fire Station
in Falmouth. The planned facility would be approximately 11,000 sq ft
at a town owned property at 878 Sandwich Road. Approximately
$10 Million was approved. Construction anticipated to begin in 2023
with about a year or so construction. The station would have 3 bays
and allow for future needs of the town.
May 2022
HATCHVILLE FIRE STATION
Falmouth Town Meeting approved the
building of a new fire station
on Sandwich Road in Hatchville at the April 5, 2022 Town Meeting.
The plan is for an 11,000 Square foot station, to be built for
approximately $10 Million to address the response needs in Falmouth.
Voters will still need to approve the funding on May 17, 2022.
Talk of a Hatchville Fire Station has been ongoing for 30 years or more.

Falmouth has also been dealing
with issues at the 1930's era
West Falmouth Station 4 for several years.
The "one man" station was to be closed in July 2020.
Additional staffing was approved and currently keeps the station open
most of the time, but it is still outdated and too small for modern fire
apparatus
(most of Falmouth's current apparatus will not fit in the station).
Discussions about whether to
replace, combine, or otherwise deal with
the issues of the 1930's West Falmouth Station 4 and
1950s North Falmouth Station 3 are ongoing.
Ultimately, Falmouth will have to decide whether it can update,
maintain, and staff both the North and West Falmouth Stations.
Falmouth has been the Busiest Fire Department on the Cape
for the past few years and has been struggling to add staffing
to keep up over 8,000 calls annually.

Orleans Fire
Station

Present Orleans Fire Station
ORLEANS FIRE STATION
(Study Approved)
The Town of Orleans voters approved funding for a feasibility study
to evaluate
the options for renovating the 1987 Fire Headquarters Fire Station
on Eldridge Parkway.
The station was not built for current or future staffing and lacks
important facilities
and space for training on site. Additionally, the building has a
number of issues
that need to be addressed for firefighter health and safety.
Dec 1, 2020

Provincetown Police

Present Provincetown Police Station
PROVINCETOWN POLICE STATION
Provincetown Police Department currently
occupies a station that was
originally a funeral home. The station is in need of replacement and
in 2019 an attempt was made to fund it. It failed then. The problems
with the old station continue. The following videos show the situation.
