Stations

AVFR operates from three stations located throughout our district.

Station 2

Station 2 is the original “fire house” for AVFR and has been located at 2146 Mark Pine Road in Bena since 1955. For the first five years, the fire trucks were housed overnight in the Studebaker dealership that once stood on the corner in Bena. This station is where most of the company meetings are held. It houses one engine, two brush trucks, a 3,000-gallon tanker, a utility truck, and a 16-ft rescue boat. We also have a 34-ft fire boat kept at a local marina.

Station 3

Station 3 is located in the Hayes area of Gloucester at 2676 Hayes Road. This is the Rescue Squad headquarters station and was remodeled to add three new drive-through bays, a fitness room, and new sleeping quarters. The station houses three medics, an EMS response vehicle, one engine, a 65-foot Tele-Squirt Quint, a rescue truck, a 25-foot rescue boat, and an EMS Gator.

Station 5

Station 5 is located in the Ordinary section of Gloucester at 3526 Providence Road. We purchased the building from the Newton family in 1990 and converted it into the current fire station. The station is home to two engines, a rescue truck, and a medic unit.
