Harrisburg (PA) Firefighter Restores Historic Fire Station

Harrisburg firefighter Jason Lloyd bought a red-brick Allison Hook & Ladder Building in 2010 with the aim of restoring it, reports The Burg.

The landmark has been fully restored and is back in service of the Harrisburg Fire Bureau.

The building remains privately owned, but four volunteers, constituting the revived Allison Hook and Ladder Co. No. 2, are now attached to it—though they actually respond to fires from the bureau’s modern, fully-equipped station on N. 16th Street.
