Fire Station #2 officially opened Thursday, April 24, 2014. The 8,834 square-foot fire station features:
• Two fire engine bays
• One Battalion Chief vehicle bay
• Housing and living space for four firefighters and on-duty Battalion Chief
• Decontamination room for emergency equipment and personnel
• Storage room for personal protective equipment and gear
• Storm shelter for on-duty personnel
• Physical training room
• Emergency generator for non-disruption of power
• Updated traffic signals at the corner of McMenamy Rd. and Mid Rivers Mall Dr.
The community recommended replacing the aging Station #2 to better meet the needs of the community during the SAFE-T (Securing A Future of Excellence – Together) process in 2008. In January 2011 the public provided District leadership with feedback on the station plans and architectural renderings.
