Fire Station #2 is located at 615 Curtis Street toward the north end of town. Station #1 is a new facility, dedicated in November of 1998, and rededicated and renamed to the James M.

The service area includes all of the city plus Vevay Township and Aurelius Township. The department also has mutual aid agreements in place with virtually all departments in Ingham County, including the City of Lansing Fire Department.
