Bourne Fire Stations

BOURNE
Bourne is one of the more unique towns on Cape Cod.
The town covers about 40.7 square miles. A significant area
of the town is within the Massachusetts Military Reservation,
also known as Joint Base Cape Cod.

One of the most significant features of Bourne is the Cape Cod Canal
which cuts the town in half connecting Cape Cod Bay with Buzzards Bay.
Crossing the Canal is done by two aging automobile bridges and
a railroad bridge. Traffic congestion is a common concern at
the bridges and often effects emergency response times.

FIRE STATIONS
Bourne has long been served by 4 fire stations.
Two are North of the Canal and two are South.

NORTH SIDE

Station 1 - Buzzards Bay Fire Station
The long time Headquarters and busiest fire station is located
on Main Street in Buzzards Bay. It was built in 1935 and added
onto in 1956. The building is in a historical flood zone that was
impacted by hurricanes in 1938 and 1944. The offices were
located on the second floor an were not ADA accessible.
In 2017, the Headquarters offices were relocated to the
newer, accessible Sagamore Station 3.

Station 3 - Sagamore Fire Station
In 2006, as part of the Sagamore Bridge "Flyover" project
that eliminated the Sagamore Rotary Circle, a new Fire Station 3
was built on Meetinghouse Lane. In 2017, the Headquarters
offices were moved to this station from Buzzards Bay.
The station is not the optimal location for headquarters,
but is the only facility currently able to serve the public.

SOUTH SIDE

Station 2 - Monument Beach Fire Station
The oldest station, originally a barn built in the 1890s, served
Monument Beach as an unstaffed Call Fire Station for many years.
At onetime it was staffed by 1 firefighter, but that was discontinued
in the 1970s. The station has recently been utilized for fulltime
staffing with the use of a trailer since 2020. It has been renamed Station 4.
A duty Lieutenant, Engine, and Ambulance are assigned.

Station 4 - Pocasset Fire Station
The Pocasset Fire Station 4 was built in 1947 and added onto
in the 1970s. The station was built in an area with a high water table
and had frequently needed a sump pump to keep the basement
under the apparatus floor pumped out. The station was staffed
and an ambulance added in the1980s.
In November 2021, structural issues deemed the Pocasset station
had to be closed. Personnel and apparatus was relocated to
the previously unstaffed Monument Beach Station.
The Pocasset station has been renamed Station 2.

STATION STUDY

There had been talk of doing something about a "South-side"
fire station prior to the closing of the Pocasset station.
A committee had been looking at potential sites for a new
fire station. After the Pocasset Station 4 closed in 2021,
the committee looked at 7 potential sites, narrowing the
list to about 3 sites.

The goal is to find the right station location for a South
Station that would replace the two old stations.
The preferred site appears to be near the old Go Cart
Track at McArthur Blvd (Route 28) and Clay Pond Road.

UPDATE AUG 2023
In June 2023, the property owners of the desired land decided not to sell.
The Committee returned back to assessing the potential use of the old
Pocasset Fire Station site on Barlows Landing Road as a potential
site for a new Fire Station.

Chilmark Fire Dept

"Old" Chilmark Fire Station 1 has been torn down.

CHILMARK FIRE STATION
(Approved 2021)

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

Dennis Fire Station

DENNIS FIRE STATION 2
(Under Construction 2022)

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.

EDGARTOWN FIRE STATION
(Discussion 2021)

The Edgartown Fire Department is starting to look ahead at its options for
expanding or replacing the main Edgartown Fire Station. The present station
on Pease Point Way was built around 1966 and added onto already during the
1980s and again in 2005. The station was never designed for permanent staffing,
larger apparatus, or many of the other requirements of modern facilities.
The following article in the MV Times discussed the situation.

PLANNING AHEAD

 

Falmouth Fire Stations

FALMOUTH
Falmouth is a large town of about 44.1 Square Miles.
The town has been protected by 5 fire stations for many years.
While the downtown headquarters was always staffed by several on duty
personnel, the smaller outlying stations for many years had only 1 person
on duty at any given time. A large roster of call personnel in
those villages responded to calls and for many years that system
worked pretty well.

MUCH HAS CHANGED
As call volumes continued to increase with many more EMS calls and
many significant changes in staffing needs, the department has
struggled to keep up. Newer stations were built in Woods Hole 2 in 1976
and East Falmouth 5 in 1980, and the Headquarters was completely
rebuilt in 2002. Staffing is slowly being added to handle about 8,500
calls annually - the busiest department on the Cape.

SMALL, OLD STATIONS
The 2 bay North Falmouth Station 3 was built in about 1953
 and the single bay, small West Falmouth Station 4 in 1930.
Both stations have serious age issues. As more modern apparatus
has grown in size and personnel needs have evolved, the need
to upgrade the facilities servicing North and West Falmouth
has been a concern.

Falmouth had decided to close the West Falmouth Station due to
staffing struggles and problems with the station itself.
Some additional funding in 2020 led to the station being
staffed with 2 personnel per shift when available. Otherwise,
the station is sometimes closed because of staffing.

Additionally, for decades, the town has talked about another
fire station to cover the north central part of town known as
Hatchville.

HATCHVILLE
On May 17, 2022, Falmouth voters approved $10M funding
for a new 11,000 sq ft Hatchville Fire Station. Located at 878 Sandwich Road,
It is expected to have 3 bays and have at least 1 Engine and 1 Ambulance assigned.
It is likely the additional space and central location will see this station quickly
become a hub that will serve or support much of the town, as well as Hatchville.

It is still to be determined what Falmouth will do about the fire stations and
service in the West and North villages.

Update August 2022

Hatchville Station Construction Progress
 

Falmouth Approves New Station

HATCHVILLE STATION APPROVED
Falmouth Voters approved funding for a new Hatchville Fire Station
at the April 5, 2022 Falmouth Town Meeting.
Talk of a Hatchville Fire Station has been ongoing for more than 30 years.
. The planned facility will be approximately 11,000 sq ft
on a town owned property at 878 Sandwich Road.
Approximately $10 Million was approved for the construction
anticipated to begin in 2023 with about a year for completion.
The station will have 3 bays and allow for future needs of the town.

FALMOUTH STATION ARTICLE

WEST FALMOUTH FIRE STATION

The West Falmouth Fire Station, built in the 1930s, was a "1 man station" for many years. 
It is barely able to house a single modern pumper, A variety of issues have closed the
station for extended periods in recent years. At one point in 2019, the station was scheduled
to be closed permanently. The residents of West Falmouth spoke up and the town
made efforts to provide the additional staffing needed to keep the station open,
at least on a day to day basis. Staffing of 2 per shift when available continues.

The station itself however, is on a small piece of land and there are limitations
to what could be done to make the station more functional for the long term.
Discussions of somehow combining Station 3 and 4 into a more modern
facility that could serve both villages, and other options have been ongoing.

Dec 1, 2020
The Town of Orleans voters approved funding for a feasibility study to evaluate
the options for renovating the 1987 Fire Headquarters Fire Station on Eldridge Parkway.
The station was not built for current or future staffing and lacks important facilities
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.

MORE STATION 2 PROGRESS

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 4
The Bourne Road Station 4 was built about 1977.
That area has been growing rapidly.
The Town is looking toward replacing that station
with a new station if funding can be approved.
Update July 2023

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

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.

Engine 7, the new Ladder 3, Breaker 177, and Forestry Engine 8-1.
Housing of an ambulance was also planned.

The old Station 7 was built over 107 years ago at 0 Spooner Street
(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.

a couple times a day to headquarters until sufficient staffing allowed
for 24/7 staffing of Station 2.

Engine 355, Breaker 354, and an ambulance are kept here with
either 2 or 3 personnel on duty depending on staffing.
