The fire station attached to Langhorne Borough Hall looks a lot different than it did about a year ago. The Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company moved from temporary space back into their reconstructed fire station in spring.
Since then, they’ve been operating several vehicles like their new, 100-foot ladder truck from the upgraded station.

Chief Frank Farry told LevittownNow.com recently that the station features more room for fire apparatus and storage for tools.
The new apparatus bay is approximately 3,100 square feet and the second-floor of the fire house is 1,650 square feet, Kurt Geiselhart, president of the fire company, said.
Before the renovations, the space used by the volunteer fire company was roughly 2,050-square-feet and quickly becoming antiquated, Geiselhart said.

The fire station features a common area and kitchen on the second-floor. Previous to the project, there was no second floor, Farry said.
A generator was installed next to the building and is expected to help fire company members in severe weather when the power is knocked out.
The fire company funded about $1 million in upgrades to the facility.

The ribbon cutting for the new station will be cut Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. in the heart of the borough. Apparatus displays, tours of the station, firefighter demonstrations, a scavenger hunt and fire prevention activities for both adults and children will be held at the station throughout Saturday’s Olde Langhorne Harvest Day, Farry said.
The 185-year-old Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company features another station on Langhorne-Yardley Road in Middletown.
