Weymouth Fire Department is planning to reopen a fire station that was closed due to budget constraints more than a decade ago, reports The Patriot Ledger.

Due to a national recession and town-wide budget constrains, the fire station was downsized to an administration headquarters in 2008.

Since coming into office, the current administration has added seven new firefighters and funded another five firefighters who were hired with temporary grant money. The town received a second federal grant in March of 2020, which provides more than $559,000 to cover a portion of personnel expenses for four new firefighters.
