Ok, here is a mystery. I punched up fire companies in the GPS while I was in Northampton, and it took me to Avona Fire Co. The only thing I have about an Avona Fire Co, is a Past fire company as part of the Easton Fire Dept, but this little building sites in West Easton. Internet searches have given me newspaper articles on dart and pool leagues from this organization but nothing else.

More Fayette Co. stations:

Markleysburg-Henry Clay Twp. VFC; station located in village of Flat Rock on US 40. Houses a 2004 KW/4-Guys eng., and a 1995 GMC/New Lex mini pumper-rescue.

The Marclay ambulance has apparently decamped somewhere else.

A side view of the station, which has been here since at least the late 1960's, with little in upgrading or upkeep since.

No doubt those 2 blasters shake the building! (Hello Dave Fritz, what's that new-fangled thing on the roof?)

Same station back in 1994 with the 1972 Ford C-900/WLF that was assigned here for over 25 years.

A few miles west on US 40 is the village of Farmington, which began over 60 years ago in the 2-story wooden section. The 4-bay addition was added in the 1980's when construction of the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort nearby brought an expansion of the fleet.

A side view showing the venerable Federal alert siren. Many companies still use this siren.

Warren,



So good of you to think of me and post such nice station shots with sirens!! That new fangled white thing on the roof of Henry Clay is a Federal 2001, it is a rotational siren which is very loud. That damn thing is really close to the ground too, amazing close to the ground to be honest. The other siren is a Federal Thunderbolt 1003, one of the staples of the Federal line.. mostly seen in nuclear power plant systems and civil defense systems. Some of them find there way into fire department use as fire sirens. What makes this a 1003 is the little bow tie shaped things at the back of the horn..it makes it capable of sounding a hi-lo signal. I have included a video of both a Thunderbolt 1003 (with a Federal 2001 sounding in the back ground) and a Federal 2001 for everyone's enjoyment!!

Over Chestnut Ridge on US 40 is the village of Hopwood, several miles east of Uniontown.

The VFD has been quartered here for many years, the VFD offices/ meeting room is on the 1st floor/rear portion of the 1820's stone structure, which was originally a tavern.

This is Sta.2 of the Uniontown FD, a combination dept. that has paid driver-engineers and a paid chief, plus a crew of volunteers.

A Mack MC engine and a reserve Mack Aerialscope is housed here.

This old station is several blocks from the previous post which I would guess was its replacement.It is lettered above the middle doorway for the Union Hose Co., one of the original vol. components of the UFD.

Anyone know if this is currently occupied?
