FIRE BRUSH BREAKER UPDATES Breaker 127 - Bourne FD has been in the process of building a medium sized brush breaker on an old 1974 Military 2.5 ton chassis for several years. The "new" breaker is NOW IN SERVICE. 12/09/01. It is presently housed at Bourne Station #4. Its permanent assignment is yet to be announced. Breaker 128 - Bourne's 1967 Kaiser Military 6x6 Brush Breaker with bar work done by Ted Young may be nearing retirement. In service with Bourne since 1975, its water tank is failing and the apparatus is out of service more often than in service. This truck has served well as one of the larger breakers in the area for many years of serious forest fires in the Cape and Plymouth area. Breaker 129 - A 1971 Jeep Corp. Military 2.5 ton chassis with a diesel engine and standard transmission was recently (2001) put in service under the former body of Breaker 129 which had been on a 1952 Reo Military chassis. The new B129 has a new paint job with a black roof. PUMPER TO RETIRE -
The 1975 Maxim F Engine 125 has been retired (Feb 2002). This pumper,
which served initially as Engine 6 and then as Engine 5, was in recent
years assigned to the Monument Beach Station 2. It has a lot of body rot
and will be retired. |

BOURNE FIRE The Town of Bourne has had (4) Fire Stations for many years. Two stations on the North side of the Cape Cod Canal and two stations on the South side of the Canal. STATION 1 - The Buzzards Bay Fire Station on Main Street always served as the Headquarters, with administrative offices, dispatch, and the major pieces of apparatus. In the 1980s or early 1990s, dispatch went to the Bourne Police. In 1996, the Barnstable Sheriff's Department took over dispatching Bourne and continues to today. In 2017, the Bourne Headquarters offices moved to the Sagamore Fire Station 3, which is the largest, newest facility that could support Headquarters functions. STATION 2 - The Monument Beach Fire Station 2 on Thomas Philbrick Road is the smallest and oldest facility (100+ years old). At one time, staffed by a House Man who lived in the station. For many years, since the 1970s, an active Call Station. In 2022, the old Monument Beach Station 2 was called upon to become a staffed station when it had to serve as the "south side station" when the Pocasset Station 4 had to suddenly be closed due to structural and safety reasons. A mobile trailer was placed next to the Mo Beach Station (for living quarters) and apparatus, including an Ambulance was relocated from Station 4 to Station 2. The long time Station 2, was reassigned as Station 4 (for dispatch and operational purposes). STATION 3 - The Sagamore Fire Station 3 on Meetinghouse Lane was built in 2006. It was part of the Sagamore Bridge "fly over" project that replaced the Sagamore Rotary, which is where the previous Sagamore Fire Station was located. The new station was a much larger, multi-floor, multi-bay fire station. In 2017, the department decided to move Headquarters into the larger facility. Increased office space, an elevator, and training space were some of the advantages. STATION 4 - The Pocasset Fire Station 4, on Barlows Landing Road, was built i 1947. At the time, a 2 bay, 2 story wood station. In the 1970s, a third bay was added allowing for an ambulance to be assigned. The station became staffed in the 1980s and was the primary station south of the Canal for many years. There has long been a need to modernize, renovate, or replace the south side station (s) to house larger apparatus, staffing, etc. Station 4 has always been in a high water table area and had a wet basement (sump pump) issue. As early as 2018, and in reality way before, talk of doing "something" about the situation periodically came up. In 2018 a Study Committee was established to look at options. The committee looked at various sites for a new fire station, and whether a single station could serve the south side adequately. Progress was slow and stalled off and on. In the Fall of 2021, the apparatus floor in the Pocasset Station was deemed unsafe and the station was abruptly and unexpectedly forced to close. With Winter coming, it created a challenge as to how to serve the large area south of the Canal, as well as the rest of the town. The quick solution was to utilize the Monument Beach Station to house apparatus and use a mobile home trailer to support the crew. The move was made. The (3) person crew for the Pocasset Station, relocated to Monument Beach. Engine 4, the ambulance, and officer's pickup truck also moved. The "call Engine 122" and Tanker 128 had to be relocated as well. The "call" Engine could be housed in the one newer bay at Pocasset, So the Monument Beach Station was renumbered "Station 4" and Pocasset became Station 2. Now, in 2022, with an increased need to solve the problem, a Southside Fire Station Committee was tasked with looking at potential Station sites. A list of (7) potential sites was eventually narrowed to (3) best sites. These were prioritized and followed up on. Ultimately, there were challenges with one of the preferred sites near the former Go Cart Track on McArthur Blvd (Rte 28) near Clay Pond Road. A deal could not be agreed on, and the search continued. By June of 2023, the Committee had come full circle, and was once again looking at the renovation/rebuilding/replacement option at the current Pocasset Site on Barlows Landing Road. Preliminary plans for an adequate Station were created and things seemed to be moving forward. In November 2023, the Committee determined that the potential Flood Zone issues with the Barlows Landing site needed to be addressed. So once again, the Committee is looking at options. Among them are sites on McArthur Blvd near Clay Pond Road (previously preferred), A ball field on Shore Road, and a piece of property near Dr Julius Kelly Lane off County Road in Cataumet. More to follow...... Updated Dec 2023 |

BOURNE FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
POCASSET FIRE STATION 4 CLOSED |
Bourne Fire Station SOUTH SIDE FIRE STATION COMMITTEE Bourne has been looking at various potential sites for a new "Southside" Fire Station. A new Committee was formulated and has been meeting to narrow down the sites to hopefully best serve the Town in the future. At one point there were seven potential sites. In July 2022 the number had been narrowed down to (3) potential sites that would be able to service the town and function into the future. Sites include: (1) County Road near Dr Jullious Kelley Dr (2) Motor Way at Macarthur Blvd & Clay Pond Road (3) The Ballfield tract at Shore Road in Monument Beach A proposed facility would have about 8 bays and would combine the now closed Barlows Landing Station in Pocasset and the inadequate Thomas Philbrick current Station in Monument Beach.

BOURNE STATION 3 DAMAGED A pickup truck driven by a diabetic driver smashed into the Sagamore Fire Station #3 at the Sagamore rotary early in the morning July 15, 2004. The building sustained heavy damage, as did the 2002 E-One Typhoon pumper E-123. The patient was treated and transported to the hospital. The engine will be out of service for an extended period while repairs are made and the station will have to be repaired as well before reopening the damaged section. This structure is due to be replaced by a new facility if and when the Sagamore Bridge 'flyover' project to remove the rotary begins. |

BOURNE FIRE DEPARTMENT
BOURNE FIRE DEPARTMENT Loosing 12 personnel is the same as loosing 3 per shift from a department that has a maximum of only 11 personnel on a shift to cover 3 of their 4 stations with basic 24 hour staffing. A similar cut of 12 personnel in 1991 devastated the department for years closing the Pocasset station (the only staffed station south of the canal) and the Sagamore station to the east. Response times to some calls increased from as few as 2 or 3 minutes to 15 or 20 minutes or more in some cases during multiple calls. At best Bourne has a Deputy, Lieutenant, and 3 Firefighter/Paramedics at Station 1, a Lieutenant and 2 firefighters at Station 3, and the same at Station 4. Often less personnel are on duty due to scheduled leaves, illnesses or injuries with a minimum of only 9 personnel on duty in town. The department has already cut 1/3 of the Lieutenant positions out of the budget and routinely only maintains 2 personnel at Station 3. Bourne responds to approximately 4,600+ emergency calls annually, more than 2 times as many calls as they handled in 1992 (1,753 calls). Many of these calls occur simultaneously which can greatly increase response times to medical emergencies throughout the town. Loss of personnel or closing of stations would make it difficult for the town to provide the most basic emergency services to its citizens..
BOURNE FIRE DEPT Congrats to both!
BOURNE FIRE DEPARTMENT Lt. James Brown also recently retired. He joined Bourne FD in 1985 and retired in July 2014. Fire Chief Martin Greene has also announced his intention to retire in early 2015. August 2014
BOURNE FIRE The additional personnel bring normal shift strength up to 11 on duty, with the same staffing off Station 1, but now 3 personnel at both Station 3 and 4, including a Lieutenant at each. This reduces the amount of vehicles on the road for most runs and provides a degree of efficiency and safety that come with sufficient staffing.
The Officers of the Bourne Fire Department are now
