FIRE STATIONS
Station 36-1
The first Engine 36 was purchased in 1946 and was housed in Harold Slepians barn as there was no Fire Station at this time. This was behind the Manada Hill Inn on Route 39 (North Hershey Road). No Picture available.
The next storage location for Engine 36 was at John Houck's Hardware store at Linglestown Road and Walnut Avenue. A garage was added on to the west end of the store to house Engine 36. The Fire Company operated from here - 1947 to 1954. (first the American LaFrance engine, then the 1937 International engine purchased in 1947 pictured, and finally the 1949 Ford Darley in 1950)
1953 to 1955, the first stand-alone 3 bay Fire Station was built at 628 Walnut Avenue, directly behind the Houck Hardware store. It would eventually house Engine 36, Tanker 36, and Brush 36. In 1967, the Station expanded, adding a 2 story addition, with the first floor for a crew room and the second story housing a larger kitchen for the Ladies Auxiliary to use. Another expansion in 1979 added 3 larger, longer bays on the front of the Station, to accommodate the bigger vehicles and additional units. Station 36-1 added Rescue 36-1, an old Dauphin County Chevy Rescue from the 70's. One of the smaller bays in the rear of the station became offices for the Fire Chief and the Treasurer. We would eventually outgrow this Station.
The current Station 36-1 is located at 7624 Jonestown Road and had its groundbreaking in early 2011 and was finished in December 2011. It consists of 4 bays - double deep and drive through capabilities, 2 gear locker areas, a cascade system, a hose washer, a state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center, numerous Operational, Executive and Administrative offices, a tool room, a crew kitchen, crew dining room, a crew day room with 65” LED TV, Live-in male and female bunk rooms with shower and locker facilities, overnight bunk and locker facilities, numerous storage rooms, executive boardroom & a meeting/training room. This station houses Engine 36-1, Rescue 36-1, Brush 36-1, Utility 36-1, Traffic Unit 36, and Reserve Engine 36.

Station 36-2
Station 2 was originally a one car wooden garage when acquired in 1970. There was only room for Engine 2 (1949 Ford Darley), and it had a small gear area. Later it housed the 1970 Ford Hahn and a smaller gear area.
As apparatus and the company grew, we needed more room. The building was demo'd and replaced with an all-steel Morton pole building in 1983. The new Station was constructed with 2 bays, a restroom and small maintenance area.
This station was remodeled and doubled in size in early 2011. We added a larger workshop & mechanical room, day room & office area with computer, a kitchenette, and larger bathroom facilities. The addition was constructed to the rear of the existing building.
This station houses Squad 36-2 (previously Engine 36-2), and at times, Reserve Engine 36. It is located on 554 South Hershey Road (Route 39) near the intersection of Devonshire Heights Road, in Hanoverdale.

Station 36-3
Station 3 is located at 1296 Piketown road, intersecting with Appalachian Trail West and Sleepy Hollow Road, at the top of the mountain in Piketown. The original 2-bay Station housed an Engine and a Tanker. As time moved on and apparatus got larger, we added a longer bay to accommodate the new Engine 36-3 and provide the crew with an office / day room and a new restroom. The original part of the station currently houses Brush 36-3, a mechanical room and storage.
