Well, at least the Kitchen Faucet.

Curious that the black fireman helmets were the most common color in it's first years, but became somewhat rare later on.

I think the sole white one in the fire station was meant to depict the commander/chief?

Wait, there's no fire!

I found the US version (556 Emergency Van) in my Easter basket many years ago. It still is a part of my collection of original Legoland town sets.

Nostalgia hits hard at this point. I was bothered by not being able to fit the minifigure in the vehicle but in couple of years that to became a thing of the past, so to say.

Tap. Not Faucet. Kitchen Tap.

Not sure what he is going to do with a bit of string, really needs that nossle part. Interesting need a sticker for the buttons on his plain black torsa. Still a fun set and glad they made this again in 6593-1 with a two part ladder, without having to buy a complete fire station.

Smae year as 600-2 (First set with a modern minifig)!

I think my first fire engine. Later on a lot of versions entered the collection.
lately i found a second one in a pile of secondhand lego.

What, you don’t think he’s about to axe the fire out?

I’m saying the chance he’s an axe-wielding psycho is more than 0

A Year 1 minifigure. One of the Founding Fathers of LEGO. We salute to you, FIRE005: Plain Black Torso with Black Arms, Black Legs, Black Fire Helmet. (Speaking of, what is it like to be identified only by the color of your clothing?

Plus the paper sticker of course, which despite getting my dad to apply never sat quite right in the centre of the torso, I also remember they moved around in warm weather due to the adhesive used..."

Well, you can’t axe him what his intentions are for another 75 years or so.

I think he's going to choke the fire.

Nevertheless, I have fond memories of this set from childhood.

What ever happened to Part of the Day? Why aren't we getting that anymore? I loved seeing the part and then looking to see which sets I had that included it.

It got axe-murdered.

First set promoting a body spray.

Looks like a Mercedes van.

It's been gone since the third of July - over three months ago. Huw axed it because of the consistent lack of images for the parts selected. (which is an issue LEGO is having, apparently.)
