Doylestown Fire Company No. 1, Station 19







Doylestown Fire Company No. 1, 68 Shewell Avenue, Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Bucks County Station 19.  Organized August 4, 1879. The old Station was built in 1902/1903 and the cornerstone to the annex bays reads 2001. The DFC also operate a second station on Warden Road outside of town, Station 79. As a side note (I seem to have some interesting ones sometimes) these pictures were taken just two days after Hurricane Sandy devastated the East Coast. The roads north of town had no power. All traffic lights coming into town were out and some utility poles were still lying were they fell. In town it seemed no power was working either. Some of the traffic lights were being operated off of small generators.
