[quote name='Ladder 68' post='77972' date='Feb 17 2007, 15:48 ']Some buddies of mine are going to be in Philadelphia next week. Are there any recommended stations to stop by that are accomodating to visiting fire fighters? Philadelphia or nearby? Any help is appreciated.



Thanks in advance.[/quote]



Most Philly stations are great for visitors. Some get more then others. Sqt 8, Snk 2 (4th and Arch) is near Fireman's Hall. Pipeline 3 is next to the Mummer's Museum (Washington & 2 Street). Marine 1 is at teh foot of Washington & Delaware Ave. This might be hard to get to since it is also a Coast Guard Station. Engine 29, Medic 15, and Rescue 1 is at 4th and Girard. Sqt 43, Ladder 9, and Medic 7 at 21st and Market. Engine 11, Medic 21 at 6th and South Street.



Kind of bounced around some but these are all good stations that I use to visit often when I was buffing PFD. Most have Company shirts, patches and hats for the visitors also.



Have your friends pick up the ADC - Metro Philadelphia Map for $13.00. Good maps and has a blown up view of Center City. It shows ALL the current Stations in Philly and the surrounding areas. Good luck!



Have your friends get you some shots to post!!!
