Middleborough started as a fire district c.1852 with a handtub and hook & ladder.
The first fire station was built c.1855.  Previous stations existed on Pierce Street and School Street as well as the Central station on North Main Street.  Later stations were added in South Middleborough and most recently North Middleborough.  The Central station is nearly complete and is expected to be reoccupied in November 2003.

Staffing in Middleborough is barely at minimum with only the North and South stations being open during construction of the new Central station.  The North station has (5) personnel with (1) committed to dispatching.  The South has been staffed with (2).  There are no plans for additional staffing when the new Central reopens.  Staffing at the North and South stations may go down to (1) each with (5) at Central.

Apparatus assignments when all three stations open is not completely decided yet, but at this time (Oct 8, 2003) it looks like this.
Station 1 (Central): Eng.2, Eng.4, Squad 1, Dive, and other misc vehicles.
Station 2 (South): Eng.1, Tanker 1, For. Fire 2
Station 3 (North): Eng 3, Ladder 1, For. Fire 1
A boat will be located at each station and AMR (the EMS provider) will station an ambulance at each station providing both ALS and BLS service.
