Hose No. 2 is a former fire station in the Lower Falls area of Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Built around 1889, seven years before the town's first fire hydrants were installed, ^[1] it stands in a wedge-shaped plot of land separating Main Street and Marina Road at what was formerly known as Staples Hill. ^{[2] [3]} By 1901, the town had "two hose companies of fifteen men each" and a hook and ladder company of ten men. A system of fire alarms, consisting of eight boxes, were in the process of being installed. ^[4]
