Next in our tour of Harrisburg's old fire stations would be Goodwill Fire Company No. 7. But the Goodwill's sat at 6th and Calder Streets and were sold to the Redevelopment authority and the land now serves as a parking lot.
Mount Pleasant Fire Company No. 8 sits at 9 South 13th Street at Howard Street. Built in 1953 it replaced a bigger station built in 1883 but condemned in 1952. Mt Pleasant is the only remaining active volunteer fire company in Harrisburg. This station houses Harrisburg's Squad 8, a 1999 Seagrave Rescue/Pumper. The Squad was out of the station the day we stopped by.
