Fire House #2 houses TeleSquirt 532, Squad 501, Brush Truck 572, Car 504, Trailer 503, and Kalamazoo County DECON 1, which responds to any Haz-Mat incident in Kalamazoo County.

The telesquirt is a fire apparatus that has a aerial device as well as the same functions as an engine, carrying 500 gallons of water and pumping 1500 gallons per minute. The brush truck carries 200 gallons of water and pumps 200 gallons per minute under high pressure. It also carries four 5 gallon portable water backpacks for grass/brush fires.

This cache is hidden with permission of the fire chief. Please do not park in the driveway. There are parking spaces in front of and behind the building.
