SYRACUSE, N.Y. — After being closed since 1998, the Syracuse Fire Department’s Engine Company 12 reopened and returned to Station 12 at 400 West Genesee St. on July 2.
Engine 12 will respond to calls for fires, car accidents, EMS, and other 911 emergencies across the city.
The fire department said that amid record-breaking call volume and city budget cuts, the addition of Engine 12 will help ensure city citizens “receive exceptional service and protection. The reopening will restore just a sliver of the former network of fire stations that once safeguarded the city,” the department said in a July 2 statement.
“We want to thank our elected officials and the dedicated teams within the Syracuse Fire Department, whose years of planning and preparation helped restore this vital emergency response resource,” the department added.
