The Wellfleet Fire Department participates in the Barnstable County marine and road flares disposal program by serving as a collection point for outdated flares. The Coast Guard does not recommend keeping out-of-date flares for emergency use, improperly disposed of flares may pollute the water table, and it is against the law to set flares off in a non-emergency situation.

Expired flares may be dropped off at the main fire station during normal business hours and we will see that they are properly disposed of.
