Fire Station 2 is located at 1103 Florence Street in London’s Old East Village and serves as a fully operational emergency services hub. Constructed in 2005 on the site of its predecessor, this modern facility honors the legacy of DC Stanley Scruby and Lieutenant Arthur Hartop. The building spans approximately 63,600 ft² and combines a triple-wide, double-depth apparatus bay with a drive-through maintenance garage, complemented by 54 parking spaces and exterior storage for five fire trucks.

Its long north-facing façade features a stone base symbolizing civic permanence, rising red-brick walls, and a cornice that visually anchors the structure. The design incorporates triangular entrance canopies and curtain glass towers, guiding both the public and staff inward. Inside, Engine 2, Car 2, Rescue 2, Marine 2, and technical support units—including air/light and decontamination trailers—are housed, ensuring rapid citywide deployment.

Open and staffed 24/7, Station 2 provides fire suppression, medical response, marine rescue, and hazardous-material support—serving as a key lifeline for East London’s growing community.
