__TOC__
== Overview ==
The Rotterdam Volunteer Fire Company of Rotterdam Fire District 2 (simply known as Rotterdam District 2), serves the Town of Rotterdam, New York, located at 1400 Curry Road. It provides fire and rescue services with 40-45 volunteers and responds to an average of 350 calls per year. It also provides RIT (rapid intervention team) services to South Schenectady, Pine Grove, Schonowe, Rotterdam Junction, Pattersonville, Plotterkill, Duanesburg, Delanson, Quaker Street, Mariaville, and portions of Fort Hunter (who in turn is Rotterdam's RIT department and, as of late 2015, Carman's RIT department), Esperance, and Burtonsville. 
== History ==
Until 1980, Rotterdam provided emergency medical services as a basic life support ambulance provider. In 1980, it stopped providing emergency medical services alongside South Schenectady when Rotterdam Volunteer Emergency Medical Corps was formed.
Until 2015, Rotterdam was the RIT department for Carman.
