Alert Fire Co. No. 1

2 days ago

TBT - 52 Years ago, on May 27, 1968 the Downingtown Fire Dept. volunteers responded to a manufacturing building fire at the Bicking Paper Co., in the 200 block of E. Lancaster Ave.

The volunteers arrived to find a working building fire in the rear section of the massive paper mill that was located between E. Lancaster Ave. and E. Pennsylvania Ave., where present-day McDonald's and Mill Town Square Shopping Center is located.

All of the other photos were taken by Don Greenleaf and are courtesy of the Downingtown Area Historical Society. ... See MoreSee Less

One of my favorite trucks ever. My initiation at alert was to climb to the top over the lake and then survive the turn of the turntable was it shook the heck,out of me.

Thanks for sharing..

I remember that fire!
