crackle crackle pop! There's a fire in the wilderness! The fire helicopter will put it out. The fire helicopter was a great set. It was fun to build, and i especially enjoyed building the jeep. nothing went wrong while i was building it. The parts were good enough, but i was hoping that there would be seats on the inside. It is fun to play with, but i think that it makes a better display. I thought that this was a very high quality Lego and it did not use any odd pieces that don't fit. however, the propeller blades sometimes don't spin to well. I am playing with this set constantly and it never collects dust. It is one of my favorites. Even though it is discontinued, you should definitely invest in this set. Splash! The fire is out!

I got this set at Super Target in Austin TX for $34.99 on sale (,$39.99 regular). I could only get 1 set that was on sale so I was desiding between this set and the off road fire truck with boat, and with little ATV. I decided the heli. now for pros and cons

pros for minifigs:

• none.):

cons for minifigs:

• the pilot minifigs helment falls off when I take him out of the heli.
• same old faces but they are fine.
• could come with 4 minifigs (3 for heli)(1 for truck)

pros for truck:

• licence plate
• doors
• radar
• back windshild
• cool bigger tiers
• tale gate

cons for truck:

• should have a red lights on the left where the siren lights are to be more reilistic so I put red lights there (to be more reilistic)
• no hool for hose so I put one on
• no signals/blinkers
• on use for the right door (The radar is in the way(That is not a con)
• no seat

pros for heli:

• lots of controls (like real life)
• light on bottom to see on the ground at night
• wheels
• weird hook for bucket

cons for heli:

• no seats in the heli
• on use for windos
• the center part is hard to take off (not where the pilot sits)

pros for heli bucket:

• none

cons for heli bucket:

• didden't come with enouf "water" so I put more clear blue bricks in

get this set before your city burns down

If you have previously built the Coast Guard helicopter, and have handled it as much as I have, then you will find this helicopter on the small side. The body is fairly narrow, especially after attaching the front nose and windscreen.

It is also fairly light weight, due in part to the large front and rear pieces, but also due to the fact that TLG managed to create yet another aircraft that actually has storage in the middle. You could probably load up quite a few additional firefighters to be dropped on the ground to help in a fire.

There are two side fuel pods or support pods for the fire fighters to sit on. They give a good tough look to the helicopter, and they make for a really neat ground effect when the helicopter is on the ground. The rear of the helicopter has a really nice low look to it.

Even though it is smaller than the Coast Guard helicopter, it still has massive blades. Two less blades than the CG helo, but still as long, which does look like it could be able to lift the giant bucket of water. And boy does this thing have a massive engine. It looks great with so many intakes and vents all over.

I don't want to forget to mention the truck. It has the look of a jeep, and really has a feel of a forest vehicle that could actually go in and help the pilot from the ground. It has it's own water hose...but no water supply. Oops! A minor setback in an otherwise great set.

This is yet another beautiful vehicle set in a nearly flawless City Fire theme.

I really like this set, Im not a fan of numbered bags so i dump all the parts for a building challenge. Few parts are big and the bucket is strange, but the windshield and tail parts can be used for a streamline MOC plane.
The cabin sits the pilot surrounded by detailed tiles. The inside of the helicopter is plain but seats 2 firefighters perfectly but you have to remove the helicopter engine to get there.

The bucket is new, comes with 20 1x2 trans blue cylinder pieces for LEGO water, but I didn't keep them for long since the parts can fall out and get lost easily.

The truck is really nice for off road and has 2 axes on the hood, functional tailgate, and fire hose.

Overall this set is great, the heli is light weight to hold in the air with out your arm getting tired, the bucket is new and holds lots of bricks, and the truck is very playable.

this Set is very nostalgic for me. The minifigs are very average which is expected for a set from the time. The build for the truck is decent and it feels very bland. The helicopter is a good design for what it’s supposed to be and the time period could also be a factor. I don’t remember what the building experience was like because I built it many years ago. Overall I like this set to a large degree.
