How many firefighters are on each fire engine?
Monday through Friday from 8am 6pm there are two on duty firefighters at Station 1 and two at Station 2. After 6pm there are four firefighters on duty (A Captain, Engineer and two firefighters) at Station 1. We also have volunteer firefighters who also respond and staff other fire and rescue apparatus.
