Fire Department History

The Mashpee Fire Department was established in 1950. Ellsworth Peters was the first Chief. The department moved into the old town hall on Route 130. The first engine was a used 1930 Ford bought from Centerville-Osterville. Mashpee bought a 1950 Dodge in 1950. A rescue squad was organized in the 1960s. A new fire station was built in 1979. The department renovated and added onto its fire station in 2002.

Fires and Incidents

1992 - Mar 21 - Pickwicks Restaurant on Route 28 south of the Mashpee Rotary was destroyed in a spectacular 2 alarm fire.
1992 - Sept 14 - A cement mixer struck a car and both collided with a large tree on Route 130. A two year old child was trapped in the car for over an hour as Mashpee rescuers assisted by the Hyannis Heavy Rescue worked to extricate the mother and daughter who escaped serious injury.
1992 - Sept 19 - Firefighters encountered heavy fire conditions on arrival at the Summerwood Condos on Route 28. 3 alarms were struck as the fire extended to two of the six units in the occupied 2 story condo. 11 occupants were displaced, but no one was injured.

Note: The run cards above are a partial listing provided for quick reference only. Additional coverage assignments for other fire departments were left off for simplicity purposes. These run cards are in effect as of the date posted with them. It is interesting to use the run cards to track and compare the flow of apparatus to fires in various parts of town. It is important to remember that these cards reflect resources available when they were written. Additional apparatus, changes in station assignments, staffing issues, and individual department policies may have changed since these cards were written. This may have an effect on the actual apparatus response to incidents when they occur.
