Hi,
have a look at my large fire station. It's purely fictitious - I've
never been to the real fire station, so there may be things which are
illogical :)
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=140239
All the vehicles are LEGO, except for the large 'tank' car (I'm lacking
the terminology here), which is a poor try to imitate Czech Tatra T148.
Some of the furniture pieces are taken from Brickshelf, some of them are
mine.
Photos are far from perfect. If anybody is interested in any details,
let me know, I plan to destroy it on Sunday.
The garage uses my rubber belt powered doors, this version seems to work
very nice - and it's cheap, easy to build and ready for 6/8-studders.

Hey,
Very nice! All smooth and tile-y. Perhaps my favorite details are the
helicopter landing pad and the numbers on the garage doors. The cliff in back
is very well landscaped, and it’s good to see interior spaces for their
off-time. One critique, I doubt they actually wear their full gear while eating
pizza and going to the bathroom, etc. :) Perhaps the fire hats and “coats”
(torsos) should be in a changing room next to the garage and they should be
wearing civilian clothes in the living quarters.

I dont know about the hats but I would think that if they are "on duty",
they would be wearing as close to full kit as is comfortable/possible so
that when the alarm goes off, they dont need to spend 10 minutes getting
ready (which would mean 10 minutes longer before they can put the fire out)

Actually, if their speed is anything like the Navy (probably faster) then they
don a full ensemble in less than 2 min.

The eating pizza in turnout gear bit is interestingly accurate - it is against
the rules in many fire departments, because it dirties building floors, but its
a rule that people can break freely. It really depends on the type of gear the
FD uses - in some departments, people don't even use full gear on calls. Oh, and
is that something resembling a bar there? I trust its just root beer. =)
Its actually very well done - it leans more towards a large suburban town fire
station. And all the little details add a lot to it. The main things I see
missing? Stuff all over the place, unable to be found. Most FDs are very messy.
And maybe a couple of rigs getting washed or a good-sized toolrack. And even
though very few places have them these days, a pole?
Most impressive.

I've uploaded detailed photos of the doors to my Brickshelf folder.

Feel free to ask for details.
