The following photo story is about the Playmobil City Fire Department's station interiors living quarters. All PCFD fire stations are designed to be exactly the same. Even the 2 additional stations numbers 15, & 25 are being built to be exactly like their sister stations. The reason this is being done is the theory that if personnel members that are substituting for absent fellow members are placed in a station that is not their own, the atmosphere to settle in will be exactly as their own station, making the chore of finding, & performing station duties much more efficient. The same is for apparatus equipment set up, & design, which is why this is the same reason for this theory to be implemented. When transfer personnel are placed with an apparatus, it can keep confusion & delays of finding equipment, & supplies to a minimum on an incident scene. There is a department rule that all personnel are fed 3 meals a day. Firefighters are only charged $2.00 for each meal. They're allowed as many refills as they want. Playmobil City Emergency Medical Service units assigned to each station eat with the PCFD firefighters every meal. Playmobil City Police Department units that are assigned to each stations call area have a standing invitation to eat with the PCFD also. Each of the 10 PCFD stations prepare 3 meals everyday the same way. All visitors eat with the PCFD personnel at no cost. The philosophy is to strengthen relationships & brotherhood by breaking bread together every meal. The following photo story describes the every day life within the PCFD stations. I hope you enjoy the story.

FireChief's avatar takes his job very serious as you can tell, because he is wearing his turnout gear, SCBA, helmet, & brings a hose with him to dinner.
Notice though, he has a plate in his hand, now if someone can back him up on the hose we'll be in great shape! My avatar shown with the new orange & black rescue saw.
