A request for some help

This is from a reader:

I was looking to find the history of Truck 2 which used to be at 540 W. Washington.  I remember going there when I was a little girl with my father and would like to know more about that fire house.  I did find a picture on your website of the front of the fire house and it really brought back memories.

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.
