Plymouth Firefighter Recruit Graduates from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy

by

Congratulations to Firefighter James Kneeland!

Firefighter Kneeland is Plymouth’s newest graduate from the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy. FF Kneeland graduated during a small, private ceremony today at the Springfield Campus of the Department of Fire Services. In a public statement released by the Massachusetts Fire Academy, Director David Evans stated, “First responders are on the frontlines protecting their communities and these newest firefighters are needed now more than ever. We have taken advantage of technology, reduced class size to increase social distancing, implemented daily screening, and required mask-wearing to keep our instructors and students as safe as possible during these uncertain times,”

After an intense 10 week curriculum involving many topics beyond firefighting such as public fire education, hazardous material mitigation, stress management, confined space rescue techniques, and rappelling, FF Kneeland is ready to rejoin the ranks of his brother and sister firefighters, certified to the level of Firefighter I and II, and Hazardous Materials First Responder. FF Kneeland will be assigned to Group 1 Engine 1 starting next week.

Well done James, have a safe and healthy career.

On this day we remember the line of duty death of Fire Lieutenant David Montanari

by

Lieutenant Montanari was 48 years old and a 21-year veteran of the Plymouth Fire Department, before succumbing to smoke inhalation injuries while battling an arson fire at the Old Colony Railroad on August 25, 1979. David was remembered for his friendly, easy-going nature – even in the face of danger, and loved serving the town of Plymouth. Fire Station 2 in West Plymouth is dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Montanari where he proudly served before his career was cut short.
“Never Forget”

 

Massachusetts Order Allowing Temporary Deferral of Smoke, CO Detector Inspections Rescinded

by

Attention Home Buyers, Real Estate Agents, and Closing Attorney’s:

On March 20, 2020, Governor Baker issued Executive Order #12, deferring inspections required by Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 148 sections 26F and 26F ½ (Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector re-sale inspections) until (90) days after the current State of Emergency is lifted or Executive Order #12 is rescinded. The Plymouth Fire Department has been deferring re-sale inspections under this order since it was announced.
Per the Governor’s Office, effective as of July 10, 2020, Executive Order No. 12 has been rescinded. Inspections required by law must be completed before the sale or transfer of any home. Any inspections that were deferred must now be inspected within 90 days of July 10, 2020. If you bought a home or represented a buyer in purchasing a home in Plymouth during this time period, please contact the Plymouth Fire Department Prevention and Code Enforcement Office at (508) 830-4213 ext. 105 to schedule your inspection to comply with State Law.

The New Station 7 in North Plymouth opened July 13, replacing the Zero Spooner Street location, which has been in operation for more than 100 years.

The Spooner Street station had been closed since November 2019. The new, state-of-the-art Hedge Road facility focuses on safety and preventative care of the firefighter, is equally accommodating for firefighters of all genders and is fully compliant with current ADA requirements.

The efficient design delivers 24/7 accommodations for the full-time staff and provides for effective environmental separations via negative air pressure systems to protect the staff from the elements associated with firefighting.

The facility also boasts a full decontamination room for firefighters to utilize after returning from an incident.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a formal grand opening ceremony will be held at a later date, with members of the town and residents invited to attend and tour the new facility.

Our Mission

The mission of the Plymouth Fire Department is to protect the lives and property within America’s Hometown by reducing the effects of fire, medical emergencies, hazardous materials incidents, special rescue emergencies, and disasters.
