Rescue 2 is a 2006 Rosenbauer Engine/Rescue/Tanker with a rear-mount 1050 gpm Waterous pump, Foam-Pro all-around, 1000 gallons of water and 80 gallons of AAAF. A 4-head Command light and Hurst Dual-head extrication capability complete the unit.
Engine 2 is a 1991 Spartan 1050gpm Hale pump, Foam equipped engine w/800 gallons of water. This engine/rescue will be replaced with a 2010 Smeal 1050 gpm Waterous Eclipse CAFS Engine with a 1000 gallon water tank, in April. Engine 2 will be identical to Engine 1 except that it will have the additional benefits of an Advantis 6 200 cfm compressed air foam system providing almost 30 minutes of Class A or Class B compressed air foam, and it will also have a four point 9000 pound winch. This is a distinct advantage as it effectively extends the units water supply/fire suppression capability by approximately 500%, while improving the units vehicle extrication capabilities.
Squad 2 is a 2008 Ford V-10 equipped (4x4) F-250 Brush truck w/100 gallon of water/foam concentrate. The truck is modular in design and has multiple slide-on containers that can carry additional equipment for air supply, extrication cribbing and extrication equipment. Squad 2 is the first response vehicle for emergency medical calls and, like all Tecumseh Fire Units, defibrillator and first aid equipped.
Station #2 has a complement of 18 firefighters including 4 Captains and the station is located at 5520 Walker Road in the Oldcastle Hamlet near Highway 3.
The office of Deputy Chief D. Pitre is located at Station 2.
