All Volunteer Stations, 19 & 79, Bucks County, PA

  On February 23, 2008, The Doylestown Fire Company was dispatched to Old Easton Road for a reported car accident. Arriving units reported a single vehicle that sheared a utility pole in half. The occupants of the vehicle were not hurt, however traffic had to be diverted for a good amount of time for utility crews to secure the scene. Engine 19 was assigned to secure the hazards on the vehicle so the tow truck could remove it from the scene. Photos by Sara Grogan.
