Eagle Engine Co. #2

August 1, 1859 the Eagle Fire Engine Company, No. 3 came into being, Middletown's oldest fire company. Middletown Engine 1 was the machine called "The Old Bread Tray". Protection Engine Company was Number 2 and Eagles were Number 3.

​

When Protection was disbanded, Eagles reorganized as Eagle Hose Company, No. 2. The new company moved into a two bay fire station on King Street at the corner of Foundry Alley, later called Center Street. Eagles hand engine was replaced by a horse-drawn hose and patrol wagon before becoming motorized.

​

As its apparatus evolved the company changed its name to Eagle Chemical Engine & Hose Company No. 2 and finally Eagle Engine Company No. 2.
