Missoula Fire Department Station 2, located at 247 Mount Avenue in Missoula, MT, is a modern facility that reopened in March 2008. It is staffed by a crew of three and houses a structural fire engine, a wildland fire engine, and a reserve structural fire engine. The station replaced the original one built in 1954, and it serves as an important hub for fire prevention, training, and emergency medical services.
Station 2 is part of the Missoula Fire Department's network of stations, each strategically located throughout the city. With a focus on sustainability, Station 4, opened in 1994, is the first in Montana to be partially solar powered, generating approximately 6,500 kwh of electricity annually. The station's battery backup system ensures uninterrupted operation during power outages, supporting critical functions such as door openers, radios, lighting, and computer systems. The Missoula Fire Department welcomes visitors to explore the solar-powered system, which was funded through a grant and installed by Sunelco of Hamilton, MT.
