Somerset, MA

 

Somerset Police Chief Todd Costa and Fire Chief Jamison Barros both appeared before the Somerset Selectmen recently to begin the conversation of how to replace the current building that houses both departments. The current building opened on County Street in 1965.

 

Chief Costa says the needs of the fire chief are greater than the police department's current needs. Chief Barros said the Fire Department has doubled in size since 1965, both in the number of firefighters and amount of equipment. He said the size of the fire engines is also bigger.

 

There is no timeline for when a feasibility might be conducted on a new structure to house Someret's police and fire departments/
