The roots of West Deer Volunteer Fire Department #2 began with land donated by Marian Aber. Over time, additions were built around the original station, which remained in service until 2014. That original structure was later demolished to make room for the building used today. The department’s social hall was added in the 1960s and remains part of the property.

In the department’s early years, West Deer Volunteer Fire Department #2 also launched the first ambulance service in West Deer Township. In 1946, members purchased a Dodge Power Wagon and outfitted it as a brush truck. In 1957, the department purchased the township’s first ambulance, a 1957 Cadillac. A new Howe-Chevrolet engine followed in 1958 as the department continued to expand its capabilities.
