This week, Engine 2\u00a0moved into temporary quarters at the old city radio\/signals\/sign shop on South Wilmington Street, in preparation for the renovation of their Pecan Street engine house. See this earlier blog post<\/a> for information on the “down to the walls” rebuild.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0makes the fifth location for Station 2 since the career fire department was organized in 1912. Below is a photo history. Learn more<\/a>\u00a0about Station 2.<\/p>\n
