Orrstown Garage Destroyed
On August 10, 1937 at 10:00 p.m. the rural pumper responded to the north end of Orrstown for a garage fire. By the time the engine arrived the garage had already burnt down destroying a 1927 Pontiac. The pumper connected to a hydrant about 100 feet away from the fire and prevented it from spreading further. The water system was installed in Orrstown just a few years earlier. Damages were estimated at $400. The Vigilant Hose Company answered the alarm.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
Nice picture of the station. I never seen that one.
