Ahead

Watch for progress on the following in 2023
|
| |
BOURNE FIRE
Bourne had been looking at building a new Southside Fire Station since
2018. Progress went along slowly. In Oct 2021, the Pocasset Fire Station
4 on Barlows Landing Road was found to be structurally unsafe. Two of
the 3 bays were over a basement with danger of collapse. The station was
closed and the staffing relocated to the Monument Beach Fire Station 2,
occupying a trailer for living quarters. Station 2 was renamed Station 4
for dispatching purposes.A Southside
Station Committee was looking at several potential sites for a new
station. One of the preferred locations was taken off the table when
owners decided not to sell in Summer 2023. The Committee is reevaluating
using the Barlows Landing Station site for a new station.
|
| |
CHILMARK FIRE
Chilmark was looking at options for a Fire Station in 2018. Voters Approved
funds in Fall 2019. Work
was expected to begin in July 2020, but additional funding was required.
Additional Funding approved in April 2022, and old fire station torn
down. Construction of new Chilmark Fire Station and a Tri-Town EMS
Facility began in 2022 and reports that it has been completed and the
new station opened in July 2023.
|
DENNIS FIRE
Dennis has been trying to get support for a new Station 2 on the North
Side for years. Serious consideration began around Summer 2018 and moved
forward to the approval at Nov 2, 2021 Special Town Meeting for $14.6 Million station
to be located at 350 Paddocks Path. Voters
gave their funding approval December 7, 2021. The planned station will have 3 double
deep drive through bays, a training room, and other much needed
facilities.
FOLLOW THE CONSTRUCTION
|
EDGARTOWN FIRE
Looking was looking at options for future of Edgartown's Main Station on
Pease Point Way in 2021. In 2023 Voters approved construction of a new
Station on the site of the current station.
|
FALMOUTH FIRE
Hatchville Fire Station 6
The new Hatchville Fire Station on Sandwich Road is under
construction 2023.
North Falmouth Station 3
The North Falmouth Station 3 was built back in 1950.
West Falmouth Station 4
Falmouth had planned to close the 1930 West Falmouth Station 4 back
in 2020. The town decided to continue to keep it open using overtime to
staff it. The building is on a small lot and is not able to house modern
apparatus. Ultimately, Falmouth may have to replace both station 3 & 4,
or combine them into one North-West Station. Time will tell.
|
| |
PLYMOUTH FIRE
Several Fire Station Projects are in the works in Plymouth.
The Headquarters Station 1
Emergency Repairs were required at Headquarters (resulted in partial closure)
in 2019. The station was repaired and reoccupied. An extensive study
recommends relocating and building a new Headquarters Fire Station in
the Obery Street area in the future.
Station 2 - West Plymouth
The West Plymouth Fire Station 2 required a major renovation, which
began in 2023 as the living quarters were torn down and is currently
being rebuilt.Station 5 - Manomet
The Manomet Fire Station 5 is also being prepared for a major renovation
starting in July 2023.
Station 4 - Bourne Road
The Plymouth Fire Department Study also recommends the replacement of
the Bourne Road Fire Station 4 in the near future.

Plymouth Fire Dept
PLYMOUTH STATION 2
The Plymouth Fire Department
covers the large, growing town from
7 fire stations. In recent years, Plymouth's aging stations have been
found to have a number of significant issues requiring immediate actions.
Plymouth is currently taking
steps to repair, improve, and upgrade
the West Plymouth (Seven Hills) Fire Station 2. The living quarters
were found to be uninhabitable over a year ago. Crews have been
living in a trailer on site since. One of the apparatus bays will be
converted into temporary living quarters, while the old quarters
are upgraded. This has resulted in several apparatus being moved
to other stations.
STATION 1
Previously, the Central Fire Headquarters Station 1 in
Plymouth center had been uninhabitable when an interior
ceiling collapsed revealing hazardous conditions that also led
to crews being housed in a trailer and apparatus relocated.
Those repairs have been completed.
STATION 7
The oldest Fire Station 7 in North Plymouth had to be closed
earlier than planned due to structural hazards.
A new North Plymouth Station 7 was being built in the mean time
and has now been occupied.
STATION 5
On the agenda, is a similar renovation of the Manomet Fire Station 7.
That is planned for after the West Plymouth job is completed.
