LEGO® Fire Station

Description

Red doors on the town plan

The fire brigade is one of the oldest subjects in brick play, and this station shows it as it looked in 1957. At 108 pieces it sits in the middle of the range, bigger than the garage but smaller than the church. If you build the town plan piece by piece, it adds a building with a clear job that you can recognise by its colour alone. Red catches the eye even from across the room.

Three colours, eleven parts

The catalogue lists white, red and trans-clear as the main colours. White forms the walls, red gives the station its accents, and the clear elements stand in for windows or doors. The 108 pieces are spread over eleven different parts. That means many bricks repeat, and the parts list stays slim. It is handy if you would like to rebuild the set from mixed stock and want to know beforehand which part is needed how many times.

A model to put on show

There are no figures or vehicles in the set, which makes it a pure building. It looks best alongside the other houses of the town plan, such as the garage, the filling station and the church. For collectors of the early years it is a good example of how little effort was needed to make a subject believable. If you come across a second-hand station, the list on this page lets you check that nothing is missing before you buy it.

Parts for your own ideas

Red and white bricks in this quantity are welcome in any collection, whether for houses, vehicles or sculptures. The What can I build? tool on this page shows which models you could make with these parts and your own stock. That lets you decide whether to rebuild the fire station or to use the bricks for a different project. The list also helps you order any missing kinds one at a time.
