The station exists and has apparatus, but is not manned. I believe that it is in serviceable condition and is manned lightly during concerts and other high-volume-attendance events. I also believe that companies who respond to the island can use the apparatus that is already there, although I'm not really familiar as I'm no where near that area.

There are no plans for the manning of Gov's Island at this time. We're lucky just to have kept regular neighborhood firehouses open.

Last I saw an ALF wagon with FDNY style body on it and a Pierce RM Tower/Quint.

Oops check that... The tower went to PA now that I think about it.
