COMM House Fire

COMM HOUSE FIRE
The COMM Fire Department responded to a house on Capt. Deyoung Terrace
in Marstons Mills on Sunday February 12, 2023 at about 15:30 hours.
A gas grill fire, with exposed propane tanks, resulted in fire extending
to the exterior wall of the house. Crews had fire and smoke showing
on arrival, and were able to quickly knock the fire down before it was able
to extend into the house. Occupants safely evacuated.
A Working Fire assignment brought an extra Engine from Cotuit,
and covered vacant COMM Fire Stations until the fire was out.

25 YEARS AGO

Provincetown
Whaler's Wharf Fire
February 10, 1998 - Approx 18:45 Hrs

LISTEN TO THE ACTION

SEE MORE ABOUT THE FULL RESPONSE

There have been a lot of major fires over the years.
Many of them of considerable historical relevance.

The Provincetown Whaler's Wharf Fire, 25 years ago
on February 10, 1998, was one of those fires that all who
worked that night or responded to will never forget. 

Officially the fire was a 5th Alarm, but because of the
amount of apparatus that responded and provided cover
assignments, it was certainly many alarms greater.

Some 39 Fire Departments, with 130 pieces of apparatus,
and approximately 450 firefighters were involved in
various responses in support of Provincetown.

The potential of an actual Conflagration was averted
by the coordinated efforts of many people including
the dispatchers who made things happen, the
Barnstable County Mutual Aid Center at the
Barnstable County Sheriff's Office that coordinated
the huge response, and everyone else who battled
the fire or handled other calls during it.

Most of the Fire Apparatus that responded that night
has served its time and has been retired since (with a few
notable exceptions). The same for many of those who
dispatched or responded to the fire. But they were
all vital parts of the great history of that night.

The "new" 800 Mhz Trunked Radio System was not
yet fully in service. Almost all of the communications
was over the 33.70 Mhz County Radio Channel
and low band fire alarms.

The "A Team" was definitely on duty that night
and demonstrated the Best of the Best in how
the entire incident was managed.
To this day, one of the best examples of
what makes Cape Cod Firefighting special.

It is very rare, and a significant coincidence,
when units from Cape Cod respond to the same incident as
units from Brockton. Brockton and multiple units
from Plymouth County supported Cape Cod during
the Whaler's Wharf Fire.

 This week, on February 7, 2023, two Ambulance Task
Forces from Cape Cod responded to assist Brockton
at their 10 Alarm fire at, and evacuation of
over 100 patients from the Brockton Hospital.

Mutual Aid and the Radio Communications that
supports it is vitally important today, as it was
25 Years Ago Tonight.

If you have never listened to the Whaler's Wharf Fire,
You Need to!

and space for training on site. Additionally, the building has a number of issues
that need to be addressed for firefighter health and safety.

Plymouth Fire Dept

PLYMOUTH STATION 2

The Plymouth Fire Department covers the large, growing town from
7 fire stations. In recent years, Plymouth's aging stations have been
found to have a number of significant issues requiring immediate actions.

Plymouth is currently taking steps to repair, improve, and upgrade
the West Plymouth (Seven Hills) Fire Station 2. The living quarters
were found to be uninhabitable over a year ago. Crews have been
living in a trailer on site since. One of the apparatus bays will be
converted into temporary living quarters, while the old quarters
are upgraded. This has resulted in several apparatus being moved
to other stations.

STATION 1
Previously, the Central Fire Headquarters Station 1 in
Plymouth center had been uninhabitable when an interior
ceiling collapsed revealing hazardous conditions that also led
to crews being housed in a trailer and apparatus relocated.
Those repairs have been completed.

STATION 7
The oldest Fire Station 7 in North Plymouth had to be closed
earlier than planned due to structural hazards.
A new North Plymouth Station 7 was being built in the mean time
and has now been occupied.

STATION 5
On the agenda, is a similar renovation of the Manomet Fire Station 7.
That is planned for after the West Plymouth job is completed.
