FIRE BRUSH BREAKER UPDATES Breaker 127 - Bourne FD has been in the process of building a medium sized brush breaker on an old 1974 Military 2.5 ton chassis for several years. The "new" breaker is NOW IN SERVICE. 12/09/01. It is presently housed at Bourne Station #4. Its permanent assignment is yet to be announced. Breaker 128 - Bourne's 1967 Kaiser Military 6x6 Brush Breaker with bar work done by Ted Young may be nearing retirement. In service with Bourne since 1975, its water tank is failing and the apparatus is out of service more often than in service. This truck has served well as one of the larger breakers in the area for many years of serious forest fires in the Cape and Plymouth area. Breaker 129 - A 1971 Jeep Corp. Military 2.5 ton chassis with a diesel engine and standard transmission was recently (2001) put in service under the former body of Breaker 129 which had been on a 1952 Reo Military chassis. The new B129 has a new paint job with a black roof. PUMPER TO RETIRE -
The 1975 Maxim F Engine 125 has been retired (Feb 2002). This pumper,
which served initially as Engine 6 and then as Engine 5, was in recent
years assigned to the Monument Beach Station 2. It has a lot of body rot
and will be retired. |

BOURNE STATION 3 DAMAGED![]() A pickup truck driven by a diabetic driver smashed into the Sagamore Fire Station #3 at the Sagamore rotary early in the morning July 15, 2004. The building sustained heavy damage, as did the 2002 E-One Typhoon pumper E-123. The patient was treated and transported to the hospital. The engine will be out of service for an extended period while repairs are made and the station will have to be repaired as well before reopening the damaged section. This structure is due to be replaced by a new facility if and when the Sagamore Bridge 'flyover' project to remove the rotary begins. |
