Fire House Number 2

Fort Hancock’s soldiers doubled as firefighters. This firehouse was built close to Barracks Row so the soldiers who lived there could quickly get to the fire fighting equipment.

Fort Hancock was in operation from 1895 to 1974.

Marker is at the intersection of Fort Hancock Road and Magruder Road, on the left when traveling north on Fort Hancock Road.
