Mission Statement:
The Wayland Fire Department strives to provide the finest possible fire, rescue and emergency medical services to all those that reside in, work in or visit the Town of Wayland. To meet our mission, we strive to achieve the highest levels of preparedness, prevention and community involvement. Our department is founded upon the core values of mutual trust, pride in service, integrity and diversity.
Fire protection in Wayland started as a private enterprise. The first fire station was built in 1878 on Main Street where Finnerty’s Restaurant is located today. The fire station was moved in 1882 to Harrison Street, where it served the town as a fire station, polling place, and meeting place, until it was closed and then torn down in 1953. The Harrison Street firehouse was replaced by present day Fire Station 2 located at 145 Main Street, which opened for business on July 1, 1953. On the north side of town the Wayland Center Fire Company operated out of the garage at the rear of the 1878 Town Hall, located where the Heard House, home of the Wayland Historical Society is located today, at 12 Cochituate Road.
The changeover to public support for fire protection was truly completed in 1956 when the town hired four full time firefighters, with two assigned to Station 1 in Wayland Center and two assigned to Station 2 in Cochituate.
The Wayland Fire Department has grown from a staff of four firefighters in 1956 to a full time staff of twenty-five in 1970. For the past 35 years, this staffing level has remained constant as the functions of the fire department and the demands of the public have grown exponentially into areas not even dreamed of in 1956. Fire protection, emergency medical services, fire prevention, and public education are just a few of the functions that the Wayland Fire Department routinely handles. Currently the Wayland Fire Department responds to over 3000 incidents per year, with medical calls regularly accounting for 60% or more of the incidents.
