This is not what I expected to find at a Fire House, it felt very comfortable with a smaller room off to the side with a bar and a door leading to an area for food prep on the other side of the room. This space was obviously designed for events, it is very elegant with a clear entry way for guests. Bathrooms were clean and out of the way of the party. I would encourage others to take a look at this venue. Plenty of parking and an overall wonderful experience make this the perfect space for sweet 16s, mitzvahs, showers, and even weddings!

Terrie Swavely In the quiet suburbs of Doylestown,…read morePennsylvania, the Swavely family---Terrie, Ralph, and their son Eric---were known for their deep roots in the community. Their home sat on a leafy street just minutes from the historic town center, where the sound of the evening siren from the Doylestown Fire Company No. 1 was a familiar rhythm of life. In July 2025, during one of Pennsylvania's most humid summers, Terrie decided to visit the fire station on Shawell Avenue. She brought with her two large trays of homemade lemon bars, a tradition she started to thank the volunteers for their service. The bay doors were cranked open to catch a breeze, exposing the gleaming red engines. As Eric chatted with a young firefighter about the mechanics of the ladder truck, Terrie shared stories with the crew about how the town had changed over the decades. The visit was brief, but the warmth of the graditude she felt for the first responders lingered long after they left. By November 2025, the landscape has shifted into a mosaic of burnt orange and deep red. The air was crisp, and the Swavely household was preparing for the upcoming holidays. Terrie returned to the station on a chilly Tuesday afternoon, this time accomplanied by Ralph. They were there to drop off a donation for the company's annual toy drive. The atmosphere in the station was different than it had been in July; the summer humidity was replaced by the small of wax and motor oil and the cold air. The firefighters were busy checking equipment for the winter season, but they recognized Terrie immediately. They stood in the engine bay, Ralph shaking hands with the Chief while Terrie arranged the donated gifts. As they walked back toward Broadale Court, the Swavelys felt a quiet pride in their town, knowing that even as the years passed, the spirit of service at the Doylestown Fire Company remained a constant anchor in their lives.

Verbally assaulting drivers with swears and hollering is not traffic control. These days, cops wont even yell at cars while directing traffic.

However, I went to another party here where they did go out on the truck and the kids loved it. These guys are all volunteers and they do an awesome job. The space is big enough for 40-50 people plus kitchen to prep your food and desserts, and the cost for a 3-hour party is reasonable ($150 bucks I think?). And it is great to know you are donating to the local fire company. We also support Wyndmoor Hose Co by getting our Christmas trees from them and attending their annual carnival in June.

It was literally a yes or no question but she just had to abuse the little power she had. Won't be needing them ever again.

It's very easy to get cynical about city government in Baltimore but my limited experiences (never had an actual fire thank god) with these guys has been great. The first time I needed them someone at our house was having a medical emergency. They responded quickly and seemed like serious professionals when they got here. More recently we had a false fire alarm at our house and because we were not home the alarm company dispatched the fire department to see what was going on. Unfortunately they had to bust into our house but they were careful to do it in a way that caused minimal damage and did not leave the house vulnerable to being broken into until we got home. When I spoke with one of the responding fire fighters on the phone to explain the false alarm situation he was super-nice about it and not at all unpleasant about the fact that they'd wasted their time over a twitchy smoke detector.

Likewise, there's plenty of tables (plenty of seating), all in this big room, perfect for an informal banquet or company function.

If you've seen the outside of this fire station, you know it's a pretty old building and the inside is no different. The hall is old and there was a musty smell inside. Tables and chairs are provided and there is a small kitchen area in the back. For the kids party, it worked out fine. On the way out, one of the firemen pulled out the fire truck and let the kids climb on in. As you can imagine, the kids really enjoyed this! The kids were pretty much allowed anywhere except the drivers seat. The volunteer fireman even took time to show off some of the tools and talked to the parents about the different engines and gave a little history of the firehouse. The kids got to even wear the same hats that the firemen do. I don't think this happens with every party here as the hosts seemed surprised by the whole thing, but it was a pleasant surprise. I have to say, the two volunteer men were absolutely wonderful with the kids.
