PLYMOUTH FIRE STATION 7 PROJECT

    The Town of Plymouth has 7 fire stations. The oldest functioning station is the North Plymouth Fire Station, Station 7, at 0 Spooner Street at the corner of Standish Ave. It was built sometime around 1911 when the department still used horses. Volunteers of the day pulled a chemical wagon and ladder truck with horses.
    After many years of being cramped and out of date, Plymouth approved replacement of Station 7 and construction of a new fire station for North Plymouth in 2018. A 2.25 acre parcel of land on Hedge Road had previously be acquired by the town in 2017.
    The site preparation began in 2018 and construction on the new 3 bay, brick fire station got under way in 2019. The move in expected in 2020 would include an engine, brush truck, possibly a ladder truck, and an ambulance.

The old Station 7 closed earlier than planned on November 6, 2019 when a portion of the apparatus floor failed. Apparatus and personnel were relocated to other facilities. During the closed period of the North Plymouth station, Engine 7 was relocated to Station 1.

The new Station 7 opened July 13, 2020 located at 15 Hedge Road, just off of Court Street. The two story station is staffed with 3 personnel initially with E-7, new L-3, BB-177, and F-8-1. The station was planned to also have an ambulance in the near future.

(OPENED 2020)

The old North Plymouth Fire Station 7 was built over 107 years ago
in the days or horse drawn apparatus. Newer apparatus barely fits into
the old station.

Recently, Plymouth purchased a property not far from the 0 Spooner St
station. The new station will be at 15 Hedge Road just east of Court St.

The property has been cleared and preparations are under way to
build a proper new station. The new station is planned to be three
bays, double deep, allowing for an Engine, Brush Breaker, Ambulance,
a spare engine, and a future ladder truck.

The old Station 7 on Spooner St had to be closed November 6, 2019
when a structural failure made it unsafe to remain in the station.
Apparatus and personnel have been relocated temporarily until
the new station can be occupied.

The new station opened July 13, 2020.
