Nice, I have family in Beverly. How big is the dept? They stay busy like the rest of the area depts? My uncle is a retired Worcester FF, (lt.) on a ladder last I remember!

Was Engine 4 out of Essex St and 6 Bridge St?


Beverly currently operates 3 engines, 1,3,5 and Car 2 (shift commander) as well as 1 ladder when manpower is available (a rare treat) they also have two unmanned spare engines, and a Ford F-Series brush truck that is cross staffed by Engine 5. Engine 5 also performs ladder comapny duties when Ladder is out of service due to staffing (Engine 5 is a quint with a 75 ft stick). They operate out of 3 stations, 1 engine and 1 spare engine at each of the two substations, and 1 engine 1 ladder and Car 2 at headquarters. There are curently 65 firefighters and officers as well as 5 fire alarm operators.



Beverly runs approximately 4500 calls each year (From their website).









This is a far cry from 15 years ago when they ran 5 engines and 2 ladders from 5 stations. Engines 4 and 6 were cut in 1992 and the Centerville and Ryal Side stations were closed, at around the same time Ladder 2 was in and out of service due to staffing. In 1996 Engine 5 and Ladder 2 were condsolidated when they were both replaced with the current quint that would carry the designation Engine 5, Ladder 2's piece was sold to Hamilton.



Then again in 2004 with cuts in state aid, overtime was cut causing Ladder 1 to be put out of service much of the time, it is staffed duruing major snow storms and whatnot, and sometimes for short periods over the winter.
