    We currently run a fleet of 4 vehicles, an Engine, Squad, Tanker and a Utility out of two stations. We run the Engine, Squad and Tanker out of Station 216. With the addition of the Squad, that took the place of the Utility in Station 216. So for the time being we are running the Utility out of our old station, now designated Station 216-2, which is about 20 to 30 yards from our current station. This is a temporary set up for now until things get up and moving with the new building.
