Pictured below are the spots where the first two ambulances normally sit. They were empty for most of the past few shifts.

The past couple of days were once again busy for members of Local 3763. On the shifts of both the 10th and 11th Brewster Firefighters responded to 16 calls each day. These 32 calls consisted of routine medicals, 6 high priority medicals, fire alarm responses and a stuck elevator.

As is often the case, calls overlapped. Often 3 calls at a time, but as many as 4 at once at one point.

Miraculously, mutual aid was only called once. Off duty firefighters staffed numerous calls and covered the station multiple times. On duty personnel also coordinated effectively to stretch our resources to help meet demand.

Local 3763 is proud to serve our community.

Since last evening at 17:00, Brewster Firefighters have responded to 22 calls for service.

These have included routine medicals, high priority medicals, automatic fire alarms, dive team activations, a bike accident and a carbon monoxide incident.

Many of these calls have been overlapping. Last night there were up to 4 calls ongoing at once. Today, calls have tripled up at least twice.

Mutual aid was called from Dennis twice last night for medical calls which we were unable to staff. A mutual aid engine was called for an automatic fire alarm and was quickly cancelled, as Car 1 handled the call.

Today so far, mutual aid has only been called once- another ambulance from Dennis Fire for a medical.

At the time of writing this, Ambulance 1 is at the hospital and Engine 2 is handling a carbon monoxide incident which came in as a call to Headquarters about an alarm sounding. A request for 3 Firefighters for station coverage brought back 1.

Local 3763 is proud to serve our community.
