A little History...
The original Woodcrest Fire Station stood in what is now the Woodcrest PATCO High-Speed Line parking lot. The building was a coverted barn / garage with a gravel driveway entrance along Melrose Ave. The re-location of the station in 1967 to its current locale enabled quicker access to two higher volume roadways, and brought it on the other side of the train tracks. This was a major improvement as, there was a significant delay in response if caught on the wrong side of the track while freight and commuter trains rumbled by.

In 2010, Fire Station 6 underwent renovations to accomodate the growing demands of the station. Quarters were improved for the firefighters, and more room was made for the Ambulance Unit, both staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
