FIRE STATION 1 - HEADQUARTERS

24 Russell Street, Acushnet, MA 02743

Station 1 is staffed around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.  It is located in the center of town just up the street from Town Hall, and next door to the Police Station.  Apparatus housed here includes Squad 2, Engine 3, Engine 4, Engine 5, and the Special Operations Trailer.  Station 1 also houses a small motor boat for water rescue situations.

FIRE STATION 2 - LONG PLAIN (UNSTAFFED)

1130 Main Street, Acushnet, MA 02743

Station 2 is located in the north end of town, just south of Route 105.  Due to the southerly location of Station 1 and the lack of an adequate water supply in the north end, Station 2 plays a vital role in providing the town with fire protection.  Because there are very few fire hydrants in the north end, the two pieces of fire apparatus housed in Station 2 are equipped with large water tanks.  Engine 1 carries 1000 gallons of water, and Tanker 1 carries 1800 gallons of water.

Station 2 was recently renovated to accommodate larger fire apparatus.  It previously had two apparatus bays separated by a column in between.  This column was removed and the apparatus bay was widened to its current width, and a new, double-wide bay door was installed.
