This newly opened station was relocated from Lemarchant Road. Staffed with a Captain,
Lieutenant, and 4 firefighters 24/7, they operate Engine 2 and Rescue 2. Their district includes a
significant portion of the downtown core and extends as far as Historic Cape Spear. Rescue 2 is
one of the busier trucks in the city. Its location with respect to the other Rescue trucks provides
backup service in the event one of those are committed to a call as well they respond to every
fire that occurs within the service area of the St. John’s Regional Fire Department. West End is
also the location of our hose drying and service room and our main location for spare Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE).
