Consolidated Fire District No. 2 of Northeast Johnson County is the
result of core changes that have taken place over the past 60 years. The
first day of operations for the department then known as Mission
Township District No. 2 was January 1, 1947. It first operated out
of a J. C. Nichols construction barn located at 70th and State Line
Road. In July 1948, the department occupied its new station at
3921 W. 63rd Street. A log of the event is still in existence and
can be seen in the History Case at the Administrative Building.
The second component of the District began with the birth of Fire
District No. 3 in July, 1955. The newly formed District began
service on January 1, 1956, and operated out of Woolf Barn, owned by J.
C. Nichols and located at 81st and Mission Road. On August 1,
1956, District No. 3 moved into its newly completed quarters at 9011
Roe.
The last piece of the District came from Mission Fire Department No.1.
Founded in 1939, the department was first known as the Mission Hills
Acres Fire Department. Its first station was located on Maple. In 1944,
the department moved to larger quarters on Johnson Drive. In 1954, the
department moved to the Beverly station.
In 1976, the fire department moved again, this time to 6400 Martway.
On February 21, 1962, the two Fire Districts consolidated to become
Consolidated Fire District No. 2, and the newly formed District had two
stations to serve the public.
On October 1, 1988, Mission Fire District No. 1 and Consolidated Fire District No. 2 fused to become Consolidated Fire District No. 2, Northeast Johnson County, Kansas. With this final consolidation, the District was complete and has three stations to serve the public.
