Delaware Fire Departments | the Blades Volunteer Fire Company

While I haven't been to the fire station in Blades yet, I was able to take these pictures of their older Hahn International engine at a local event. In August of 2016 the Georgetown Historical Society hosted an antique fire apparatus show on the grounds of the Marvel Carriage Museum. Located just outside Georgetown in southern Delaware, this museum represents a lifetime of collecting by a single man, Nutter D. Marvel. Many of the buildings, carriages and items on display came from various locations throughout Sussex County, Delaware and following his passing the facility became home to the Georgetown Historical Society. In addition to being a fascinating visit and place for tours, the grounds offer wonderful opportunites for activities such as the fire truck show.
