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.
