Growing up in LA back in the 1960s it amazing to see how beautiful these Fire Stations are compared to the cookie cutter Fire Stations of today.

[LegoOlof]

wow

[MartinMazur]

Where I grew up, in St, Joseph, Mo, almost all the older two story stations are still in use.

I think only three of their nine stations are less than 40 years old.

That three stall station shown at the end. I believe is a museum now, but I wonder how many other of those beautiful old stations from the twenties and thirties are still in use as fire houses?

[paraawesome]

@narutofightindreamer alot of them are. I know of a fire department that had their brand new engine company built to fit their 1922 station
