Dennis Fire Station

DENNIS FIRE STATION 2
(Opened July 2024)

NORTH DENNIS - STATION 2
Dennis Town Meeting approved a $14.6 Million price tag for a new Fire Station 2
to be located at 350 Paddocks Path on the North side of town.
The meeting was held November 2 , 2021 and the positive vote was a vast majority.
Dennis voters needed to give their final funding approval at a December 7, 2021
vote that showed 722 in favor and only 153 against.

Once approval was assured, site clearing began and the official "Ground Breaking Ceremony"
was held on January 13, 2022.

Construction has been continuing at a steady pace with an expected construction
time of about 18 months with a projected opening in Spring 2023.
The building will be about 11,000 square feet including 3 double deep drive through
apparatus bays, appropriate living quarters and a large training meeting room.

The old Station at 1015 Old Bass River Road was built about 1956
with only about 4000 square feet. It was strictly a call station until about 2013
when some permanent staffing began. Currently about 5 personnel are assigned
per shift to the station that was not designed for any fulltime personnel.

Chilmark Fire Dept

CHILMARK FIRE STATION
(Approved 2021)
(New Opened July 2023)

The Town of Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard has been looking for years
at some options for either updating or replacing their humble little fire
station next to the Town Hall. In 2018 the town was looking at specific
sites and options.

In the Fall of 2019, Chilmark authorized some funding to develop plans
to raze and replace the main station at Beatlebung Corner with a new facility.
At the same time, the Tri-Town Ambulance, serving West Tisbury, Chilmark,
and Aquinnah will be getting a new facility adjacent to the planned fire station.

The images of the proposed new Fire Station in Chilmark
reflects a 4 bay, wood construction station to replace the
old station on the same site. Funding $11 Million approved at May 2021
Town Meeting.
UPDATE MAY 2021

NOTE
Chilmark went back to a Special Town Meeting on March 26, 2022
to seek an additional $1.2 Million for their Fire Station/EMS Station project.
Bids for the estimated $12.6 Million project came in above what was
previously approved in 2021. 

ADDITIONAL FUNDING APPROVED!
Old Station Torn Down March 28, 2022
Construction Under Way.
Apparatus temporarily relocated.

UPDATE AUG 2023

Mattapoisett Fire Station

Onset Fire Station

ONSET FIRE STATION
(Opened Sept 2021)

Onset Fire District voters approved a new Fire Station at the May 15, 2017
District Meeting. The originally proposed station, which would have provided
 for much needed space and future growth was estimated to cost $13.9 M.
An amendment during the meeting slashed the budget to $8 M. That sent
the project back to the drawing board. Huge cuts were made to work
within the budget. The entire design changed, loosing much of the
space needed in modern stations.

One of the biggest changes, even before the budget was slashed, was
to move the station out of the center of Onset where it had been a
mainstay since about 1894.  The current station at 5 East Central Ave
was built around 1950, next to the original station.
The new station was planned for a parcel of land across from the
Onset Water Department on Sand Pond Road, north of the Cranberry Highway
at the Onset Avenue lights.

The site was cleared by December 2019.
Ground was officially broken on March 11, 2020
and construction began soon after.
The station was planned to be moved into in the
Summer of 2021, but as is often the case, was delayed
until September 2021 when the move was made.

It will take some time to get fully moved in and comfortable
in the new station.

(not far from the new station). It was originally occupied by horse drawn apparatus.
That station had been scheduled to close when the new station was completed,
but it closed early on Nov 7, 2019 due to structural (floor) problems with the old station.
Apparatus was relocated temporarily until the new station opened.
