Station 5 Federal Avenue







West Third Street beside the Little League complex and Park at Rt 15

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.

I did see a paid ddriver but no one else was around during this Saturday evening.

The house is full of Pierce equipment.

Two engines placed in line, a heavy duty rescue squad and a ladder truck.

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.

I went on an expdition 11 years ago when I got my license taking pics of stations. Many of them have changed. I am gonna scan some and add to them. All I have are Westmoreland Co. Stations. I would love to go on an expedition and take them again now that I have a digital camera lol
