Here's Why the Series' Creator Picked the Number 19 for Station 19' !

 

Station 19 had the finest stats of the whole department in Seattle, according to Jack Gibson (Grey Damon), when Season 1 premiered in 2018. Fans, on the other hand, were left wondering if it was a real fire station in Washington and why they chose that particular number.

1. 'Station 19’ Season one origin !

On March 1, 2018, a backdoor pilot for the Grey's Anatomy firefighter spinoff aired. During Grey's Anatomy, fans met Andy Herrera, the principal character from Station 19. (Jaina Lee Ortiz). The episode also created the basis for Ben Warren (Jason George) to make the transition from his previous life as a doctor to his new life as a firefighter.


Station 19 Season 1 premiered on March 22, 2018, and ran for ten episodes. Following Private Practice, it was Grey's Anatomy's second spinoff. The series was created by Stacy McKee, who also served as showrunner for the first two seasons. Seasons 3 and 4 were taken over by Krista Vernoff.

2. Is it true that 'Station 19' is a real fire station?

Because of the firefighters' descriptions of Station19, many viewers assumed it was a genuine location in Seattle, Washington. The outside photographs of the station, on the other hand, are from Seattle's real Station 20. The set was similarly inspired by the real-life station, albeit without the pole. For added entertainment value, the producers inserted that extra prop.

One of the reasons the creator chose the number 19 for the show was because it is not a genuine fire station in Seattle. Stacy McKee, the creator, did not want to use a real fire station in the area. She instead went through the numbers that were left over after she removed the real station numbers.

The Seattle Fire Department has a number of stations, ranging from Medic 1 to Station 41, according to the department. The numbers four(4) , seven (7) , twelve (12) , fifteen (15) , nineteen (19) , and twenty-three (23)  were among the possible alternatives that did not exist in Seattle. McKee could have chosen anything above 41 as well.

Grey's Anatomy creator Stacy McKee began producing, scripting, and editing the show from the beginning. She did, however, leave in 2017 to start a new spinoff series.  McKee, according to Grey's Anatomy fans, McKee tweeted that she  likes very much the number 19. So, the title was born.
