      - Chief's Office (Monday - Friday)

      - Engine Company

Station 7-2 opened in April 2008 due to a prolonged bridge construction project on Broad Street.  The construction hampered response times to the western part of the City.  In response,  Station 7-2, located on the west side of the Cohansey River, operates when traffic congestion is high, from 8am to 2am.  In addition to the Chief, an Engine Company is staffed with a Lieutenant and one or two firefighters.  Two EMTs also staff a BLS ambulance at Station 7-2 from 6am to 2am.  After 8pm, the Engine Company relocates to headquarters until 8am the following morning.
