STATION 19 has been extremely popular since its debut in 2018.
The fictional series is a spin-off of the popular medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.
Is Station 19 a real fire station?
Station 19 follows the lives of firefighters at the Station 19 firehouse located in Seattle Washington and showcases how they risk their lives in the line of duty and as they risk their hearts off the clock.
In the show, it follows the lives of Captain Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre), Lieutenants Jack Gibson (Grey Damon), and Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz) as they try and lead a team of firefighters to save the lives of others.
While there is no actual ‘Station 19,’ the exterior images of the firehouse in the show are from a real firehouse in Seattle called Station 20. The number 19 came from the show’s creator, Stacy McKee, who chose it because it is one of her favorite numbers.
Station 20 was actually built a few years prior to the shows release. The previous station 20 was falling apart, to fix this, the city of Seattle relocated the infamous house and built a brand new structure around sustainability and functionality which is the fire station we see on the show today.
While the show is set in Seattle, the scenes are mainly filmed in the L.A area. The set used for to show is modeled after Station 20, the only difference being the real station does not have a fire pole but there is one added on the set for the entertainment value, the logos are also slightly different between the real house and the show.
What is the plot of Station 19?
eleased back in March 2018, on ABC, the show is set three blocks away from the famous Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and for Grey’s fans, one of the characters on Station 19, Dr. Ben Warren (Jason George), the former doctor turned firefighter, can be recognized due to his marriage to Dr. Miranda Bailey.
The show is centered around Station 19’s star Herrera, who took over as acting captain after the former Captain Pruitt (Miguel Sandoval), who is also Herrera’s father, stepped down from his position following the events at a traumatic fire, before her demotion to Bishop.
The first episode included a crossover event between Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy where fans were first introduced to the firehouse when Herrera comes into Grey Sloan after saving two young boys in a house fire and is introduced to Meredith Grey while she has her hand inside a patient clamping his abdominal aorta before going into surgery.
