Plymouth (ME) Breaks Ground on New Fire Station

The Plymouth (ME) fire station has needed replacement for at least five years with a leaky roof and black mold, but a ground breaking ceremony on Friday (Aug. 5) will resolve those issues, according to a report published by FOX 22 WFVX Bangor.

According to the report, the town has tried several times to repair the current fire station without much success, resulting in the need for a new station.

Plymouth firefighters are appreciative of the efforts the 1,400 people in town have made to build a new fire station, according to the report, which added the new station is expected to be completed by the spring of 2023. In the meantime, the Plymouth Fire Department will share quarters with the Detroit fire department, according to the news report.
