I built a fire station but my granddaughter has taken it apart :)

For the life of me I cant find instructions for it, I have tried Chatgpt, https://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/ and https://lego.brickinstructions.com/ it is as if I just made the fire station with no instructions but that is not me.

Can you help identify this Fire Station please?   I am guessing pre 2000, likely may even be in the 1980 era as the other Lego I have is from that time.

I have included a photo but cant say how accurate it is. The big clue may be the Blue sloping windows at the front

 

thank you in advance

Judging from the blue sloping windows and the blue garage roller door section, I'm guessing this is set 6385. Or was, since a lot seems to be missing (vehicles, tower) or off (lower floor door and window). The white Fire Station brick on top doesn't belong with that set either.
Here are the instructions!

Hi Jesse,

thank you. I dont recall the tower or the windows on the left side or the truck on the right side.

I should have listed the sets I looked at 6478, 6389, 6571, 7240, 7945, 7208 and.... 6385 and due to what I have said above, discounted 6385

I dont have the imagination to have built it from scratch, or at least I dont think I do.

 

Can you think of any other fire station with those Blue Sloping windows?

 

thanks again

There's been more stations using the blue sloping windows but those are far more modern looking, and have blue tinted garage doors.
Especially the opaque blue roller door section with handle was a big hint for me since 6385 was the only fire station to ever have it in that color.

In short, none are a 100% match with your build but the 6385 seems by far the closest.

That white "Fire Station" brick seems to be rather unique, no clue which set ever even included this particular version (part crssprt01pb120).

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

What stations used blue garage doors?  Hopefully none in the list I looked at :)

I think your list has most of them covered. The blue tinted garage doors are on the newer sets starting 6389, but those have the opaque section with the handle in white or in red.
Here's a nice article showing all LEGO fire stations throughout the years: https://blog.firestartoys.com/evolution-of-the-brick-lego-fire-station-sets/

Basically only 3 of these share the same base plate: 6382, 6385, and 6389.
Only 2 of these have clear garage doors: 6382 and 6385, however only 6385 and 6389 have the inverted sloped windows in light blue.
So unless your fire station was built either from an Ideas book or by yourself out of random parts from different sets, a lot seems to point towards 6385. Even though it is far from complete on the shown picture and contains a few wrong parts too (like the train door & window).
