Company's second fire house on West Market Street, East Buffalo Township. At that
time, It was the first due engine. Set up to be a "do-it-all" engine capable
of structural firefighting, it carried Class A and B foam. In 1994, it was relieved
of its duty as second due out of town structure fire piece with the purchase of Engine 2-3. It then became the vehicle accident and
