Almost every Tuesday (during the day) and Thursday (evenings) of the month, Battalion 2's Firefighters staff the Engine and/or Heavy Rescue on an In-Service Crew.  During this time, between three to eight firefighters are in-station to respond to calls for service in the first due area.  This area generally includes: West of Middle Rd, South of Lehigh Station Rd, certain addresses on Calkins Rd, I-390, and I-90.  Depending on the type of call and the staff available, the crew may take one or both trucks as needed.  Also while at the station, the firefighters conduct training either at the station or down at the District Training Campus, cook and eat meals, conduct fire house maintenance and/or cleaning, or, on a quiet night, watch TV, movies, or professional sporting events on TV.  Even while conducting these activities, the firefighters are ready to respond at a moments notice.
