A rather ramshackle setup at the Newell VFD in Fayette Co., the right part of the station is from the 1950's, the left part dates from the 30's. The 2 engines barely fit.

The older part houses a derelict 60'sFord C/Howe rescue, forcing the Dodge mini and the trailer to remain outside.

Luzerne Twp. VFC is located in the village of LaBelle, the 2-story part was built in 1939, the bay on the left was built in 1954. Note the bay door heights and how the newer one has been enlarged.

2 of their rigs must sit outside, but a surplus metal building will hopefully be erected before winter.

The monster siren seems to dwarf the building...

This is the "famous" Tower Hill #2 VFC in Merrittstown, Fayette Co.

The 2 locals are probably discussing the bizarre bunch of photographers that interrupted their grass mowing <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Steelton's Baldwin Hose Co #4 from back in the days when Steelton had six fire companies. This has been empty since the early 1980's.

Wow, I didn't think any of the old Steelton Stations where still standing. I knew that some closed in 1972 with Agnes flooding. Cool, glad to see that one.

Here are pics of another Cambria County Dept. This is Richland Township's Fire Dept, a suburb of Johnstown, PA. Richland operates out of 2 stations in the twp & 1 in Geistown. RTFD recently equiped Shade Twp, Somerset County, fire station with an engine & tanker to continue coverage in that area.

First is the main station on Scalp Ave. RTFD has both paid & volunteer at this station.

The Solomon Run fire station, eastern end of the Twp.

FfxCo21V · 12-03-2009, 07:57 AM

Geistown Boro station. Recently merged with RTFD.

Equipment is moved around allot and I don't know what is at each of the stations.

Thanks for looking.
