Station 2 Background

Station 2 is located at 3448 Highway (Hwy) 118 East and was constructed on a three-acre site owned by the Town of Bracebridge by area volunteers using donations from the community. The building opened in 1982 and houses an apparatus bay and office/training area. The current truck fleet at Station 2 consists of two heavy apparatus, a pumper, and a tanker.

Upon completion of Station 2 in 1982, the initial estimated useful life was determined to be 30 years. The building is now 12 years past this timeline and the asset condition is now considered to be in poor condition. While the building served the community well for over 40 years, the building no longer meets current or future needs, and there are concerns regarding health and safety and accessibility compliance.
