Recently, I found the Sanborn Fire Maps for Bridgeville on the web page of the Penn State University Libraries. Since the page has maps for many more towns in Pennsylvania, I decided to post this for others who might be interested. http://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/digital/sanborn.html I hope this might be helpful to other researchers. Who knew these were all digitized and posted online?
