PLYMOUTH, MA β€” The North Plymouth fire station was ordered to be permanently shut down after town officials said a small amount of asbestos was found in the walls.

This is not the first problem the station has had recently. Earlier this month, a structural engineer said the floor wasn’t stable enough to hold equipment.

This week, the town said 2% asbestos was found in some plaster, and the station will not re-open.
