Cumberland County Fire & EMS Stations, and more








OK, I hope you figured out that the first one isn't in Cumberland County. The rest should have been a piece of cake. And now, survey says...
Picture 1 (picture 1 and 2 here) is the firehouse at the armory in Harpers Ferry, WV. Got to stay on theme. This is the building now more famously known as John Brown's Fort. This was his last stand. This is where he was captured. The building was built in 1848. They have two old hose reels inside. This is the larger of the two, it is a Silsby.
Picture 2 (picture 3 and 4 here) This is the other half of the West Shore Bureau of Fire, the former Wormleysburg Fire Company No. 1. Now Company 13, once Company 15. Located at 18 Market Street in Wormleysburg, they were organized in 1909 and merged with Citizens Fire Company of Lemoyne in 1998 to form the West Shore Bureau of Fire. This is Station 2.
Picture 3 (picture 5 and 6 here) This is South Newton Township Volunteer Fire Company's station on Firehouse Road in Walnut Bottom. The picture earlier this morning was their newest addition built just this year. The main portion of the station was built in 1979. SNTVFC was originally the Vigilant Hose Company Station 2 from 1967 until separating in 1976.
Picture 4 (picture 7 here) an easy one for the locals. This is West Shore ALS's house in the Shippensburg Township's garage along Walnut Bottom Road on the east side of Shippensburg.

  1. OK than. I thought the first one had to be down in Harpers Ferry. If you look at the hill/mountain in the left of the picture it looked like some of your pictures early in the week.
