MOC: Modular fire station

[SalvoBrick]

Hello!

In my town I had a building with a simple garage door and a "taxi" sign found among some old bricks. This builng was totally uninteresting, so I decided to turn it into a fire station.

Actually it's a 16-wide small fire station with a garage door, with a longer back, so I can fit a modified version of the old fire truck:

This is the back:

As I've said before, it can fit the old 7239 fire truck (without trailer, of course :) )

Fire alarm! The firemen are ready to reach the fire in time and save the day!

I will modifiy it in future, maybe I'll do a 32-wide version when I'll re-arrange the town.

Future updates will be posted in this thread.

Hope you liked :)

Very cool little fire house.

I totally want a taxi garage, though, now that you talk about that sign.

Delightful fire station 'SalvoBrick'.....Brick On !

I like what you've done on a 16-wide - it's a difficult width to make things fit in, but there's some nice features there.

Thanks for sharing it with us!

Love the use of orange, nice work.

Very nice, SalvoBrick! I like the use of orange on the facade.

[Vincent Kessels]

That is a very nice 16 wide modular building!

Nice fire station.

Very cool fire station, i like it a lot :)

Well built, fits in really well with the other modular builds, I really like it.

I like the combination of colours on the front (to me though the red at the sides/rear is a bit too much!) Still, the building design is great and I look forward to seeing in a town environment.

Nice work!

I've modified the fire station, now it's 24-wide (I don't ha ve enough red bricks to do a 32-wide building) and it could be arranged to became a corner building.

The fire truck still fits perfectly

It's a nice looking building! I like the extended version, great conversion! And the bins look great!

I wonder what you have done with the back in this new format?

Happy building

The original was good, but the extra width definitely enhances it.

I love the design, it has the feel of a standard Lego set. But to be honest the part that really caught my eye were the dumpsters, pretty cool!

I really love both of your firehouses. One thing I miss on the second version is the roof access stairway it added some character to the smaller version. The first smaller one looks like and older firehouse from the turn of the century. Just add a horse drawn pumper and a hose drying tower.

Lovely. Both versions are great. I like the wider version more, but like Bamos mentioned, the roof access on the 16 stud version added some character to the build.

[SalvoBrick]

It still has roof access :) the small tower has a door on the back side

I have been using LDD to make a 16 stud wide police station for my city. The bottom floor looks pretty similar to yours. I just need to find some black garage door panels.
