June 17, 1927 a site at 16th & Webster Streets N.W. was acquired for the organization of Engine Company 30. However due to zoning restrictions in the deed, the company was not formed.
 
June 18, 1927 Rescue Squad No.2 was organized and placed in service as a combination unit with Engine Company 11. When dispatched as a Rescue Squad, Engine 11's hose wagon was used as the Rescue Squad. Engine 11's pumper would then be staffed by extra men from nearby Truck Company 6 and then Engine 11 would be back in service running as a single piece engine company until the wagon returned. The hose wagon was a 1926 Seagrave hose wagon with added rescue equipment by DCFD repair shop.
