Falmouth Hatchville Fire Station 'Ahead Of Schedule', 'On Budget'

FALMOUTH, MA — Falmouth's Hatchville Fire Station construction project is progressing along "slightly ahead of schedule and remains on budget," officials said.

Fire officials shared on update about the progress on social media Friday afternoon, stating that "a lot has happened" since the latest update.

The update is provided in full below:

"The apparatus bay radiant heat coils were installed and the cement floor was poured this week. With that completed we have moved into the framing stage of the project. The framing sub-contractor began framing the administration/living area.

Next week exterior masonry work starts. Framing continues and roof trusses are scheduled to be brought on site. Steel work in the administration/living area is anticipated, to begin with the placement of two beams and some support columns. After that steel for the framing of the apparatus bay is scheduled for delivery and framing will start."

Officials also noted that "the project remains slightly ahead of schedule and remains on budget."

The new station is over 10,000 sq. ft. and features a three-bay garage.

According to the Falmouth Enterprise, the station would include "a vestibule for patients in need of minor emergency care, six firefighter dorms, a kitchen and dining area, showers, lockers, a wellness room, a patio area and a decontamination area with lockers and showers."

Solar panels would also be installed, with the hopes of powering as much of the station with renewable energy as possible.
