Station No. 2

Birmingham Fire Station No. 2 is a fire station operated by the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service and located on the southwest corner of 6th Avenue and 11th Street South. It serves the Southside/UAB area as well as responding to calls Downtown and Greensprings when necessary.

The station was formed to serve the South Side in 1885, using space provided in the City Market, a commercial block developed by saloon keeper George Raps at the corner of 19th Street and Avenue D. The company named their steam-driven pump wagon, the second in the city, Nellie R. Raps, after his daughter. In return, Raps provided the company with newly-made blue cashmere uniforms.
