Station 2
Motto -“You want a small hole where?” “Chief we got it”
In 1948 the 1952 GMC Pumper "Jimmy" was moved to Melvin’s barn on Route 57. This barn later became Station 2, which was located at the corner of Route 57 and John Glen Boulevard (just south of where Wegman’s is today). The GMC was the first Station 2 Engine Company, and it serviced the Station 2 response area up until 1981. In 1980, work was underway for the expansion of the station. The new expansion included the addition of three apparatus bays, renovation of the existing recreation room into an ambulance bay, a bunk room for overnight standbys, and construction of a full kitchen, a day room, conference room and office areas. Apparatus where relocated as a result of the opening of Moyers Corners Fire Station 3. In July 1998, Station 2 was once again renovated and became a fully modernized fire station with new drivethrough double bays, department business offices, meeting and conference rooms, blood-borne decon rooms, sleeping quarters, and maintenance facilities. The station is now home to the Second Battalion, Presently at station 2 a 2006 Pierce Quantum (Engine Company 21),1999 Pierce Engine (Engine Company 22), 2010 Sutphen 100-foot (30 m) Aerial Tower (Truck Company 2), and a 2002 Ford Expedition (Squad Company 2).

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
