Plymouth Apparatus Plans

Plymouth has been experiencing a number of apparatus problems that have resulted in
apparatus being reassigned to different stations than normal.  The two aerial ladder
mode of operation has been changed by Ladder 1 being out of service.  Additionally,
changes in staffing levels has effected some stations.


Plymouth Engine 3
Plymouth is planning to replace the 1986 Ford / Farrar currently serving as Engine 3.
This engine was previously Engine 4.
November 2005

Plymouth Engine 6
Plymouth is also planning to replace the 1986 Ford / Farrar which served as Engine 6
until recently being taken out of service.
November 2005

Plymouth Ladder 1
Plymouth was forced to take its 1987 Duplex / LTI 100' Quint Aerial Ladder 1
out of service due to mechanical problems beyond repair.
Replacement plans call for an Aerial Tower quint to be purchased.
November 2005

Plymouth Squad 1
Plymouth has purchased a 2005 Ford F350 Pickup Truck to run as a new Squad 1.
The intention is to run the new Squad vehicle to EMS calls in place of heavier apparatus
reducing wear and tear on said vehicles.  The specifics on this are pending.
November 2005

Plymouth Rescue 1

PLYMOUTH FIRE HEADQUARTERS
(Emergency Renovations 2019)

The Plymouth Fire Headquarters Station 1 was opened back in 1978
at 114 Sandwich Street. It is home to Fire Department administrative
offices and the Dispatch center. Engine 1, Tower 1, Battalion Chief,
Spare Engine 8, Breaker 179, Special Forestry Engine 8-1, and
various other equipment call this home.

The station has been in need of general maintenance and repairs for years
but has repeatedly been put off for various reasons. In October 2019,
roof repairs were undertaken. During the work, a significant roof and
ceiling failure resulted in a major contamination of the station making
it uninhabitable. The department had to take emergency actions to
salvage and maintain what operations they could.

A trailer was placed on the property for firefighters to live in while
repairs are made.
The Tower 1 apparatus and personnel were relocated to Station 2.
 
Administrative offices were ultimately moved to the Cedarville Fire Station 6
which is the location of the Emergency Operations Center.

It is unclear when the department may be able to re-inhabit the station.

There had been discussion town wide prior to this event to
potentially relocate the Headquarters to 91 Long Pond Road
or another appropriate site at some time in the future.

PLYMOUTH CLOSES STATION 7

PLYMOUTH STATION 7 CLOSED
In an unexpected, unplanned move, Plymouth FD has had to close their oldest
Fire Station, Station 7 in North Plymouth, on November 6, 2019, when a
chunk of the concrete apparatus floor fell into the basement, making in
unsafe to park apparatus in the station.

The "new" North Plymouth Station 7, scheduled to replace this old station,
 is under construction, but not planned to open until next year.

Currently both Station 1 and 7 are closed to normal operations
resulting in potential response time issues.  Efforts are underway
to get stations repaired and reopened when possible.

Update Nov 15, 2019

Future North Plymouth Station 7

PLYMOUTH FIRE STATION 7
(Under Construction 2019)

The old North Plymouth Fire Station 7 was built over 107 years ago
in the days or horse drawn apparatus. Newer apparatus barely fits into the old station.

Recently, Plymouth purchased a property not far from the 0 Spooner St station.
The new station will be at 15 Hedge Road just east of Court St.

Construction on the new station began in 2019 with hopes to occupy
before Summer 2020.

 The new station will have three bays, double deep, allowing room for an
Engine, new Ladder truck, Brush Breaker, Ambulance, and a spare engine.

Plymouth Station 5 Shutdown

Plymouth Fire Department has recently shut down the Manomet Fire Station #5.
The closing is due to recent changes in the minimum manning and budget problems in the town.  Plymouth has 7 fire stations covering about 96 square miles and a population of over 50,000.  The shut down is posted as "temporary" but there are concerns that if/when the Manomet station reopens, one of the other stations would be closed.
With the shutdown, response districts have been adjusted and apparatus reassigned to other stations.  For more info....

Plymouth Fire Department Dispatch
Plymouth Fire Department recently upgraded its radios, antenna, and related
communications equipment.  A new Motorola Centracom Gold Elite system
enables dispatching with click of a mouse on computer screen.
(photo Sept 2002)
The communication room is in the right front of Plym HQ.

Plymouth Fire Department New Station #3

New Plymouth Sta.3 was to have opened July 2002.
Not yet occupied as of Sept 5, 2002.

Plymouth's New Station 3 - Pine Hills Station - located on a new road just off of Exit 3 east of Route 3 is nearly complete.  It looks very much like the recently built Cedarville Station #6.  The station will probably not be occupied for a while however, since the road into it and the area around it are  still under construction.  This will bring Plymouth to 7 stations.  Dec 3, 2001.
