Station two has 2 bays and holds 1 engine and 1 utility vehicle.

    This engine is housed with rescue 33-55 and a spare engine(33-13) this rig holds 500 gallons of water and has a 1750 GPM single staged pump. This rig is "my main rig" as i also ride the rescue and reserve engine. Engine 33-12 is the buisiest rig within 15 miles of the city going on about 5-6 runs a day and about 1000+ runs a year.
