For Emergencies they respond in either an engine or an ambulance depending on the nature of the call. Station 2 at 70 Cedar St is the Administrative Offices, and is Staffed with either A lieutenant or Captain, and a Dispatcher.

This change reduced the total number of actually calls recorded as stats. What this means is the total increase in the number of calls for service and operational tempo from 1991 to 1998 is actually much more drastic than shown here.
