Falmouth Fire Station 1 - Rescue Barn built c.1985.  This 3 bay
structure was located behind the 399 Main Street Station on the
site of the 1919 Falmouth Fire House. It served as the Rescue Barn
until it too was torn down in 2002 as the new station was being
built.

Falmouth Fire Headquarters built c. 1929.  The station was built
in 1929 next to the original station which was located about where
the Rescue Barn is on the right.  It remained essentially unchanged
until 2003 when a major addition and renovation was completed.
The old station was kept, completely renovated, and remains a
part of today's headquarters.
