STATION 2 GROUND BREAKING
Dennis Fire Department's new North side Station 2 in underway
with the official ground breaking ceremony Jan 3, 2022.
Construction is hoped to be completed in Spring 2023 at
the 350 Paddocks Path site.

DENNIS FIRE STATION 2
(Proposed 2020)

PROPOSED 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 will still need to give their approval in the Spring
before the project can begin.
Update Nov 5, 2021

The Town of Dennis is looking to replace the 63 year old North Dennis
Fire Station 2 on Old Bass Road near Route 6A. The small 2 bay station
has gone from an un-staffed, call station not long ago, to being a staffed station
with 5 personnel on duty in recent years.

The old station is not located in the best location for covering its district
 and the town. The proposed new station will be located at 350 Paddocks Path
closer to the middle of its district. The new station will be larger to facilitate
the personnel and apparatus into the future.

Dennis anticipates seeking funding in Spring 2020 to move forward on
replacing the old station with a new modern facility. 

The future site at 350 Paddocks Path.

DENNIS FIRE DEPARTMENT

The South Dennis Fire Station was located on Main Street
in the old South Dennis Grade School House built in 1867.
It served as the Fire Station from about 1932 until 1949
when a new station on Route 28 opened.

Dennis apparently had 4 nearly identical school houses
located in villages of the town. The similar school house
on the North side was also used as a Station.

Today, a stone marker commemorates the location of the
old South Dennis School and Fire Station.
Over on School Street in West Dennis stands a building
that looks like it must have many years ago.

DENNIS FIRE DEPARTMENT
The New Dennis Headquarters opened in spring 2000 at 833 Main street (Route 28) just west of Route 134. It is brick, 5 bays across, double deep, with a two story admin and living area on the right side of the large station. The new quarters houses the dispatch and all administrative offices as well as most of the department apparatus. The station has not been without its problems...mostly due to financial cuts and problems with workmanship...but they are dealing with them. The station sits immediately to the right of where the previous headquarters station sat before being torn down.
