Yes this station is very neat. Maybe Jack W. can give more of a history on this station. I was amazed at the skill of the driver.

Pat,
This is the oldest active firehouse in the city. It was opened in 1895. The company serves the Chestnut Hill neighborhood which is one of the most exclusive in Philadelphia. Several proposals have been put forth over the years to help alleviate the issue of the narrow doors but they were all shot down by the neighborhood association.
