What We Offer

Fire Safety Services for
Every Home

From smoke alarm installations to comprehensive home safety walkthroughs, we provide the tools and knowledge to keep your family protected.

Fire Prevention Inspections

Our certified firefighters walk through your home identifying potential fire hazards — from outdated wiring to kitchen risks — and give you a clear action plan.

Smoke Alarm Installation

We install and test smoke alarms in your home at no cost. Proper placement and working alarms cut your risk of dying in a home fire nearly in half.

Emergency Exit Planning

Every second counts in a fire. We help you design and practice a custom escape route so your family knows exactly where to go — and how to get out fast.

Community Education

School visits, neighborhood workshops, and senior living presentations — we bring fire safety knowledge directly to the groups that need it most.

Fire Extinguisher Training

Know which extinguisher to use and how to use it. We offer hands-on training so you're confident — not confused — in an emergency.

Residential Safety Consults

New home? Recent renovation? We review your space for fire risks specific to your layout, appliances, and heating — giving you peace of mind.

About Us

Your Neighbors.
Your First Responders.

Station 2 has been a cornerstone of the San Antonio community since 1978. Located on Gillette Boulevard, our station serves a wide swath of the Eastside — and our mission goes far beyond responding to calls.

We believe the most powerful fire tool is a prepared homeowner. That's why we invest heavily in prevention: free home inspections, hands-on education, and relationships with the people we serve. When a fire does break out, every second of preparation counts — and we're here to make sure you're ready.

Our crew includes certified fire inspectors, community educators, and emergency responders who live in the neighborhoods they protect. This isn't just a job for us — it's our home, too.

Safety Tips

Simple Steps That
Save Lives

Fire spreads fast. These proven practices take minutes and can protect everything you love.

1

Test Your Alarms Monthly

Press the test button on every smoke alarm once a month. If it doesn't beep loudly, replace the battery — or the unit.

2

Practice Your Exit Plan

Two ways out of every room. Meet at a spot outside. Practice at night, with eyes closed — smoke disorients faster than flame.

3

Keep a Fire Extinguisher

One in your kitchen, one on each level. Remember PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep. Know when to fight it — and when to flee.

4

Don't Cook Unattended

Cooking is the #1 cause of home fires. Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling. Step away? Turn off the stove.
