Description

The city's fire station

Set 6478-1 sits in the Town / City Center theme and shows a fire service headquarters. It was released in 2000 and contains 239 pieces, along with four minifigures, so the crew is ready to go. If you are putting together a town of your own, it gives you a building that keeps vehicles and staff in one place. For collectors of older Town sets, it is a typical example of how compactly LEGO® laid out everyday scenes back then.

White and red set the tone

The colour split says a lot about the look. White is the most common colour, followed by red, black and light grey. That gives a clean, bright façade with red accents, just as you would expect from a fire station. The variety is worth noting too: the 239 pieces are spread over 98 different part types. That points to plenty of detail elements rather than plain basic bricks, which keeps the build interesting and leaves you with a useful mix once the model is taken apart.

Play with it or add it to the street

With four minifigures the headquarters works well for free play: raise the alarm, roll out, act out a rescue. It fits just as nicely into a longer row of buildings from the same period. Because the build is not huge, it can be finished in an afternoon, which also makes it a friendly way into older sets. If you buy a used copy, pay particular attention to the figures and the small accessory parts.

Check the parts and reuse them

The parts list on this page helps you match a second-hand set against the original contents. With 98 different types, a missing detail is easy to overlook. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which other sets you could make from the same pieces. That is handy if you would rather rebuild the headquarters into something new, or if you want to expand your fire service collection with extra vehicles.
