# 2's

‘EVER READY WHEN DUTY CALLS’

The General Warren Emergency Company #2 was formed on May 15, 1854 following the incorporation of the Village of Warren, NY. Funding for the purchase of a hand pumper, hose, and quarters for a fire company was approved at that meeting. The Village of Warren, in exchange for a body of volunteer firefighters, issued this apparatus and equipment to the newly formed Warren Engine Company #1. Operating continuously for over 150 years, General Warren Emergency Company #2  remains “Ever Ready When Duty Calls”.
