Imagine If ALL Towns had THIS…

In this episode of Station Cribs on Heroes Next Door, we explore the rich history and modern operations of Star Hose Company / Port Allegany Station 3. Founded on November 16, 1885, a small group gathered in the office of O.L. Snyder to organize a hose company to serve the community. Their first major project was to construct a firehouse, which was quickly completed and cost just $289.48. On January 4, 1886, the first meeting was held in the hose rooms where Citizens Bank now stands.

The company's charter was granted on September 21, 1886, and Star Hose Company officially began its continued service to the community. Over the years, the company faced many challenges and made many improvements. They purchased their first hose cart, and by 1892, they were able to buy a lot on West Mill Street for a new fire hall. In 1894, the new City Building was constructed, featuring a garage for the carts, a hose tower, and social rooms for firemen. It also housed offices, council chambers, and a jail.

The company's headquarters remained in the City Building until 1957 when they built the present structure on Maple Street. This building was added on to in 1983. The Star Hose Company / Port Allegany Station 3 continues to serve the community with passion and pride, and their dedication to their vehicles is evident in their well-maintained fleet. One of their vehicles was even showcased at FDIC in Indiana when it was new. Despite not having a large station, the people who run Star Hose Company / Port Allegany Station 3 take tremendous pride in their work and continue to be an important part of the community's history. Join us as we take a closer look at this historic and active firehouse.
