Fire & Police Station Projects

 

Several Fire & Police Station Projects 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.

 

PROVINCETOWN POLICE
A new Provincetown Police Station was approved in 2017. The design was reconsidered in 2019 and it was on hold for awhile.
The new station is under construction in 2022-2023 and taking shape at corner or Route 6 & Shank Painter Rd.

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.
