Station 2: Mid-Field/East This building served as the only station at Indianapolis International until 2008. With the completion of the new terminal, this station will be isolated by runways and will no longer be reachable by access roads. Station 2 is home to the majority of IIAFD's Crash Rescue apparatus including Rescues 991, 992, 993, 995, Reserve 99 and Truck 996.


Truck 991 - 2007 Oshkosh Striker 3000 Series Foam Unit - 1950gpm/3000gal/420 gal foam/500lb PKP IIAFD was pleased enough with their first Striker 3000 that this rig replaced Christine below in 2007 at their southeast station.
