| A
Volunteer Fire Department.
The
Provincetown Fire Department provides excellent fire and rescue
protection to the citizens of Provincetown. We are responsible
for all phases of Fire Prevention, Fire Protection and EMS Services.
This is accomplished through an all-volunteer department. We
are one of the only two volunteer departments left on Cape Cod.
This department saves the taxpayers of Provincetown an astronomical
amount of money due to the enthusiastic efforts of our volunteers.
Our goal is to provide our volunteers with the best equipment
possible to allow them to do their job safely. We also want
to remain as a volunteer department as long as possible and
continue to provide the citizens of Provincetown with the best
possible fire and rescue protection. |

New Carbon Monoxide Law,
Known as Nicole’s Law, Implemented:
The regulation, 527 CMR 31.00, was
effective on an emergency basis as of 9-8-06. It was filed
principally to supplement the existing CO regulation filed
earlier this year which applied to most residences. This regulation
establishes requirements for the second phase of the CO law
impacting most R-1 (hotels) and I-1 through I-3 (Institutional)
establishments. These regulations require most of these types
of buildings to be equipped with hard-wired or more technical
CO alarm protection methods. In accordancewith the statute,
the regulation requires the completion of such installation
by 1-1-07. Read
additional information. See Owner's
Notice of Intent Sample Form.
Important Reminder:
Please make sure your house is numbered. You
should have clearly marked numbers that are well lit at night.
This helps both police and fire crews find your house quickly
in an emergency. DONT WAIT. Many times, seconds make a difference!
