ABC’S drama series Station 19 centers around the life of a group of firefighters who risk their lives while on duty.
The show first debuted in 2018 and is now in its fifth season.
What is Station 19?
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.
Station 19 explores the personal and professional lives of these firefighters.
“In Seattle, all firefighters are also trained EMTs and the crew at Station 19 is second to none.
“Working in 24-hour shifts, these professionals spend so much time together that they build relationships unlike any others,” the premise of the show states.
Where did they film Station 19?
Filming for the series primarily takes place in Los Angeles, however there are still scenes that have views from a real Seattle firehouse.
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, located in its Queen Anne neighborhood.
The number 19 came from the show’s creator, Stacy McKee, who chose it because it is one of her favorite numbers.

Is Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy connected?
Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy have a multitude of connections besides being set in Seattle.
Due to their shared location, the Station 19 crew often transports victims to Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital passing the patients over to the Grey’s Anatomy characters and sometimes getting treated by the doctors themselves.
But the character crossovers go deeper than that with several steamy relationships.
The most common connection is Grey’s Miranda Bailey’s marriage to Ben Warren who began on Grey’s and switched over to Station 19 when he changed careers.
Grey’s Dr Jackson Avery and Station 19’s Vic Hughes dated for a while and Grey’s Carina DeLuca and Station 19’s Maya Bishop relationship is still going strong.
