Saturday a new ladder truck showed up, how long til they bounce this one off a block of cars!

if its going off at night, every night - its the curfew whistle - hasn't ever been a social club!

Its not a curfew whistle, they havent done that in Darby in many years from what I was told many years ago its how they used to alert all the firemen who lived in town to come to the station house for calls, none of of them live around here no more they only come back to use the bar! It blew yesterday 3 times and 2 different times of day, never saw anyone come heard fire trucks racing thru town guess they came from Yeadon to put the fire out!

That is not on the "100" block of Moore but the 500 block of Chestnut Street and it's open.

Open for what? They surely dont goto fires I live on 5th Street and rarely see them goto calls, see the doors up or any kind of activity outside. See lotsa cars there though. Why is there 3 firehouses in darby anyways

Maybe the people like Mr. Mc Carthy and Miss Fischer who live in the area around the VOLUNTEER firehouse should join and help protect THEIR community. That way the whistle would stop blowing that much faster.

The fire companies in Darby might be merging anyway

the fire whistle goes off when there is an alert of a fire in the area or assistance is needed in another town to alert fireman that there is an active fire - if the fire is unfounded or assistance already provided, the firehouse or firemen are alerted to that as well. Also, firemen have pagers to alert them as well, did you ever NOT hear your pager? but you can bet that if in the area they will hear the whistle.
