The main station was dedicated in 1975 and is located in Downtown State College at 400 West Beaver Avenue, which is on the corner of Beaver Avenue and Atherton Street. Its location allows for quick responses throughout the Centre Region and neighboring areas. Its central location also allows for easy access for community members and visitors.

The station is located just a few blocks from the Penn State campus, which allows our student members to have a quick commute to class. It also gives them a place  close to campus to study and relax. This influx of student members throughout the day helps to provide quick and effective responses to emergency and public service calls. 

This station has a full kitchen, lounge, watch-room, work-shop, gym, bunk house and of course, the apparatus bay. The bunk house includes five live-in rooms and 7 bunks room which can hold up to 16 members. It is also the home of the Centre Region Fire Administration Office.

The Main Station houses: Engines 510 and 513, Truck 516, Rescue 518, and Tanker 519, Utility 522 and 1 fire-police unit.

Through this entrance, you'll find our membership photo board on your left, followed by our lounge and the watch office. Directly ahead of you is the entrance to our apparatus bay.
