Ex-Station 1, this sat behind the Water Dept, between Third and Fourth Streets on Hepburn, Sadly I never photographed the Hepburn Street Side.

Thanks for the Williamsport Stations Darin. The station near the Ballfield on the west side housed Engine 3-1 when I was in Paramedic School in '86. Unknown why the were moved to Reighard St. What Company ran from Reighard St. before Engine 3-1 was moved there? What Company ran from the Market and Vernon St. house? Thanks.

I really don't know the answer to either question. I only moved to this area in 1998. By that time the Third Street station had been closed and the Reighard Avenue station was in use. I think that move was because of Reach Road Industrial park expanding. I don't know what company ran from the station on Market and Vernon. I will have to post on a local board here in Lycoming County and see if anyone here knows.

I love how the Thunderbolt (fire siren) is positioned over the firehouse in this picture.... it just adds a certain something (including more noise to a fire call.... lots more noise since it is a Thunderbolt). I can remember when Edgely was running a very nice White/Hamerly rescue truck, by the time I finally went to Edgley to photograph it for my Hamerly file it was already gone. The person who I met there suggested that it might have been underpowered (okay fine, he called it a gutless ****ing wonder) but other than that he said it was an okay piece... not something I am used to hearing about the Hamerly's I have chased!!

Here is Sewickley Fire Department, down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh. It is part of City Hall. The police occupy the opposing end of the building.

On the rear, I found this arrangement. Watch your step when you leave the building. The sign warns that the building is smoke free....nothing about when you leave the building from the second floor.
