Citizen's Fire Company, Tamaqua, Pa.



The Citizen's Fire Company, located 99 West Rowe Street in Tamaqua, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania was organized in 1852 as the Perseverance Fire Company #1. They reorganized as the Citizen's Fire Company #1 in 1889. This station was built in 1914. I was in town during a street fair, (Not the one displayed above the door) and I stood in line for a bleenie. What is a bleenie? I asked myself the same thing. It is a potato pancake thing. About 3 inches round and half an inch think. A little salt, a little ketchup, not too bad.
