Old School Firehouse in New Kingstown, Pa. New Kingstown sits on Route 11 midway between Carlisle and Harrisburg. Maybe a little closer to Carlisle. This is the original firehouse for the New Kingstown Fire Company, Cumberland County Company 33. The Company was formed in late 1911 and this building was dedicated July 20, 1912. The NKFC stayed active until 1935 when things got a little dormant. In 1942 things picked up again and they reorganized and remain very active today. This little building was home until 1957 when the moved up the road and around the corner onto Locust Point Road. Today, as I type this, they are busily building a new station behind the 1957 building, hoping to be opened and dedicated this year. Congratulations to them, I am just starting to feel their worries. Check out the NKFC website and learn more about them and the soon to be new Station.

I was just on their site, checking out the crash on the I yesterday. I have been following their station up grade this year. Looks like a nice station.
