Vintage Bucks County, PA Videos

2013 is the 100th Anniversary of the Bucks County Fire Chief's and Fire Fighters Assoc.

 

The two organizations were separate and distinct, with the Bucks County Fireman's Assoc. being founded first in 1913.

 

They were merged into one organization several years ago

 

Attached are videos that have been provided  by long time friends, that detail a glimpse of the Bucks County Fire Service in the 1940's and 1950's

 

Fire Fighter Steven Reeves of Bristol Consolidated Fire Co. , Bucks County Station 50, has provided the video of the 1948 Bucks County Fireman's Parade,  it originally was a 16 MM Color film that has long been in the possession of his family, and is now his.

The next  videos were provided by Chief Herb Schoell of Newportville Fire Co, Bucks County Station 12.

 

They are of the 2nd Bucks County Fire School, held in Newportville in 1958,  which was coordinated by the then Fire Chief of Newportville Fire Co., William Sutton.

Love the parade video, they sure are not like that anymore.  Would love to see more, I have been in many Bucks Couty parades since 1982.
