About the Department

The City known as the Town of Weymouth, Massachusetts is located on the South Shore of the “Bay State”, about 6 miles south of Boston. It encompasses an area of 21.6 square miles with a resident population of 55,000.

The Weymouth Fire Department is comprised of 98 paid, permanent, full-time uniformed members, operating 4 engine companies and 1 ladder company. Annual responses average 7,500 incidents, with 68% of those being for emergency medical service. All members, including the Fire Chief, are appointed under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 31 – Civil Service.

Fire protection challenges faced by the Department include: a 300-bed Class II Trauma Center; an 800 megawatt dual-fuel power generating station; a intra-state natural gas transmission line connecting Texas and to the Northeast; a designated hazardous materials transportation route serving both fuel oil and chemical waste disposal vehicles; mass decontamination services for both the local hospital and regional communities; 2 commuter rail lines between the South Shore and Boston operating 54 trains daily; major roadways carrying 232,300 cars daily; a regional sewage pumping station; a rock quarry; and fire protection services for a 1405-acre decommissioned naval air station that is currently being developed as Union Point.
