I got one comment. One. Sparky got it right through. It was almost a complete gimme. The first station was Newburg Hopewell Volunteer Fire Company's new station. So new, in fact, they are not yet moved into it yet. I would imagine they'll be dragging everything down the road any day. This building sits at the intersection of Newville Road and Lovers Lane in Hopewell Township. Second station this week is the Cumberland's old station on Louther Street in Carlisle. The cornerstone denotes that the Cumberland Steam Fire Engine Company was formed in 1809 and built this classic station in 1896. The Cumberland's joined with the Goodwill in 1984 and moved to West Ridge Street. In 2010 they joined in with the combined Empire and Friendship Companies to form the Carlisle Fire and Rescue Services and run now as Cumberland County Company 45. The third station is obviously the Vigilant Hose Company of Shippensburg. This is my house. We've been on this corner since 1843 when the Vigilant Fire Company was organized. The original "Council House" was replaced in 1928 by this building, the "Municipal Building", which housed the Vigilant's, the Police (And the jail) and Borough Council's chambers. By 1994 the building was all ours. Later this month we will break ground on our new firehouse, the "Shippensburg Emergency Services Building", we will share with the Shippensburg Area EMS.
