Station No. 2 is located in an area that includes a wide variety of outdoor activities and contains many square miles of open space and urban development. Therefore, the department responds to calls ranging from rock climbing accidents to wildfires, along with the typical urban incidents. The new station replaced the department’s existing 1970s station on the site. Due to the site size, various setbacks and other issues, the station had to be designed to fit within these constraints. This also dictated a 2-story station design to allow for the needed program. The station features: 6 Dorms, 4 Apparatus Bays, Support Spaces, Crew Office / Study, Fitness Room, Kitchen connected to Day Room and Training Room.
