HYANNIS - The new Hyannis fire station proposal went up in smoke last night: "During a special meeting of the Hyannis Fire District at Barnstable High School on Wednesday night, 210 residents voted in favor of the $19.8 million plan and 169 voted against it, but supporters failed to achieve the 254 vote supermajority required to pass the spending measure."
