I worked in municipal and industrial fire departments back in the ‘80’s. The industrial department had the Gamewell system including the ticker tape. Very cool how it worked. Never broke down.

I live in Reading down on Franklin St. I'm extremely honored that you did something like this to show the people that aren't from my area my neck of the woods thank you for doing this. Also my father was a member for Readings abulance service back in his early days of firefighting his name was Jim Gerhart so ask about hime next time you visit Reading maybe some of the veteran firefighters will recognize the name

Thanks Mike! I didn't even know it was there. A nice road trip for a day.

Very cool Fire Museum

Extraordinary!!

Chief Rehr is a very knowledgeable historian and former fire chief for the City of Reading Fire and Rescue Services. I did a few shifts in that station before it was part of a department reduction.

Wow, this was AMAZING!! I love the history and loved the gentlemen who told you of the history.

And we're STILL adding more!

Great Video.I lived at that Station was a Lt. on Engine 5. 1980 thru 19888

The building is an absolutely beautiful firehouse. Great equipment, but I am always partial to the fire alarm box systems.

Wonderful tour! You should definitely visit the PA. National Fire Museum in Harrisburg, definitely a worth while visit!

Absolutely amazing

That guy is an O.G. firefighter right there and he absolutely thinks you're out of your league right now. That old man is smart and knows what he is saying.

My station in Westmoreland county pa still has our 1923 Seagrave it used to drive back in 2017 but recently the engine cylinder heads have rotted out and we can’t get replacements so now just sits

You'll have to do a crib episode when the new Marion station is finished.

Great video awesome place, reminds me of the fire museum in Erie, pa

I was surprised they didn't have a Hahn fire truck there. Hahn Motors was in Hamburg Pa. about 30 minutes from Reading
