Engine-2 responds to fire and rescue calls. The style of truck is known as a rescue pumper, which refers to its ability to serve both fire and rescue functions by carrying water and pumping equipment, as well as personnel and tools for rescue operations.
The truck is equipped to attack fire with 1000 gallons of water, class A and B foam, and all the ground tools needed for structural and chemical incidents.
Engine-2 is also equipped with hydraulic and electric tools for lighting, lifting, stabilization, and extrication. At motor vehicle accidents Engine-2 employs an electric-driven hydraulic pump to power the "jaws of life", and is equipped with tools and medical equipment needed at a rescue scene.
