The Acton Fire Department is notifying residents that the West Acton Fire Station located at 256 Central Street will be closing December 15, 2025 while a tight tank is installed and related building repair is completed.
During this period, personnel and apparatus that had been assigned to the West Station will operate out of the Center Fire Station. This relocation ensures that staffing, coverage, and operational readiness remain uninterrupted.
Signage regarding the closure will be posted at the West Acton Fire Station. The front doorbell will ring directly to dispatch should someone need assistance.
Residents should expect little to no impact on emergency response. Units will continue to respond promptly to all calls for service, and coverage throughout the district will be maintained at normal levels.
As you may be aware, the Fire Department has been participating in a Pilot study to evaluate various operational models. The final report from the Collins Center is expected in early 2026 and will help guide us in ensuring we are utilizing our resources in the most effective way to serve the community.
We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we make these important upgrades to better serve you.
