Marion Fire Company, old station



This is the old station for the Marion Volunteer Fire Company in Marion, PA. Marion runs as Franklin County Company 8 from their new station across Route 11 from this building. Company 8 consists of 2 engines, an engine-tanker, a rescue squad, a brush truck and 2 ambulances. The old stationhouse sits on Colorado Street and from the looks of things I don't think anything is currently happening there. On their website they refer to themselves as the "Swamp Foxes", this is a reference to the town's namesake Lt. Col. Francis Marion, a Revolutionary War leader who is considered one of the fathers of modern guerrilla warfare, and is credited in the lineage of the U. S. Army Rangers. That's where he got his nickname "The Swamp Fox".
