HYANNIS FIRE

HEAVY RESCUE 821
Hyannis's 1985 GMC / Ranger Heavy Rescue Truck originally had a 500 gpm pump and 300 gallon water tank located just behind the cab. The pump and tank were removed and a new roll up door style compartment added in its place in Spring 2001.

HEAVY UTILITY 824
Hyannis picked up a surplus 1967 International 5 ton all wheel drive heavy duty military wrecker a couple years ago. It has been painted red and white and is in service for heavy rescue work as well as serving other communities as needed. It has a 10 ton front winch, 23 ton rear winch, and 10 ton - 18 foot boom for lifting.

STATION NEWS

HYANNIS FIRE STATION PLAN

The Hyannis Fire District purchased 3 parcels of land surrounding the current fire
headquarters on High School Road Ext. for the purposes of building a new fire station.
The current headquarters built in 1965 has simply been out grown and inadequate
for the department needs. Public meetings are held in 2012 to inform the public
of the needs and potential for moving forward with a new station soon.
2012

A full house at the Hyannis Fire Station, Oct 2005
Some options are being evaluated relative to the department's station needs. The station originally built in 1964 has already been added onto and renovated a couple times, but has no further room for expansion. On site parking, training areas, office space, and living space are among the concerns in addition to the full apparatus floor.

Hyannis Looses A Friend

Hyannis Fire Department
Regrets to announce the passing of 12 year Hyannis Fire Department
Mascot and Dalmatian "C.J." on Saturday June 25, 2005.
C.J. had become quite sick in recent months and firefighters had to
make the difficult decision recently to euthanize the station mascot.
C.J. will be missed by all the guys and the many children who looked
forward to seeing "The Fire Dog" on visits to the fire station.

Hyannis Fire Radio - 868.2125
Hyannis FD had a number of concerns with the Cape's 800 mhz trunked radio system. In building coverage was not satisfactory in a number of major buildings within Hyannis including Cape Cod Hospital, the Cape Cod Mall, Barnstable High School, and others. As a result Hyannis experimented with a number of options ranging from low band repeaters to 400 mhz to 800 mhz options. Hyannis has now (June 2002) begun simulcasting its communications on both 33.94 and a NEW 868.2125 conventional channel. Hyannis retains its 800 mhz trunked talkgroup as well as its 460.625 channel. More to follow.... June 2002.

Hyannis Fire Department - Busiest on Cape!
Once again, HYFD is the Cape's busiest Fire Department. Hyannis responded to 5,657 runs in 2001, an increase of 370 runs over the 5,287 runs in 2000. This is a 7% increase in runs making it an average of 15.5 runs a day.

Hyannis runs with 11 personnel per shift, one of them serving as a dispatcher.

Hyannis Tower 829 displays the colors in the weeks following Sept 11, 2001. Several HYFD personnel responded as part of MA-TF1 FEMA team to the WTC spending 8 days at ground zero.

Hyannis Man Burned in House fire

Hyannis Fire Department responded to a house fire at approximately 0900 hours on April 2, 2002. Police reportedly were first to arrive at the house located on Winter Street at the corner of Chestnut Street. Heavy smoke was coming from a 2nd floor bedroom. Firefighters rescued a male who was severely burned and unconscious. The fire was quickly controlled and the victim was transported to CCH due to a delay in medflight availability. A police officer was also treated for smoke inhalation resulting from initial rescue attempts. COMMFD & Yarmouth FD assisted HYFD.
