This is an update describing the new apparatus & personnel assignments for Playmobil City Fire Department District 1 Station 2 officially known as Station 12. There are 2 new engines E122, E123, & Heavy Rescue HR127 that are new apparatus assigned to this station. The original units; Engine E121, Tower Ladder TL124, Arson Investigation Unit 129, SUV 1281, Specialty Trailer ST12A, both WSRRT units, & PCEMS Medic 12 are still assigned to this station. The 2 Fire Fighting ships FFS11 & FFS12 at Playmobil City Port & Harbor are still under Station 2 command. As stated in the original PCFD District 1 Station 2 description, Station 2 protects the area in west Playmobil City that is highly industrialized & home to Playmobil City Port & Harbor in the Great Lakes Region.
I hope you enjoy the revised Station 12 pictures.

Great pictures as always Bill! That is an awful lot of personnel, would this be considered a large station? Thinking of the logistics of supporting that many people and the diversity of equipment (repair and maintenance) is mind boggling. 8} Thanks for the photos and the update. :wave:

Thank you for the first positive review Gepetto ;D! To answer your question, this would be considered a model extreme fire department that few areas would be able to support currently, or afford unless the tax revenue was used only for this purpose! That's why I like Playmobil,....anything is possible :P!

Hi Bill
That is quite an impressive collection you keep. I really like how well organized and consistent your crew are. Your background wall is perfect for these pictures.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful rescue collection

Thank you Ras ;D,
Your positive comments & support is always appreciated :-[!

Thanks for sharing the photos. Positively amazing! :wow: :wow:
Very well done!

A very comprehensively equipped station, Bill, and excellently presented. I like the way you've made use of the photographic possibilities with the evening sun.
:wow: :wow: :wow:

Great set up, very thorough. I assume Playmobil City must have a river or is on a shore since they have the boats. We have one such in my city here.
My town and the larger one next door (Springfield and Eugene OR) are merging their EMS departments into a single unit. My guess is that the Chiefs want to move towards a separate taxation district for EMS. Tax levies specific to EMS and Police typically pass while broader city levies don't.

WOW! I wish that we had a fire department like yours in the US Virgin Islands!
(Bill, maybe you should come down and organize them.) ... ;)
This is our entire "fire department" ...

Thank you Gordon for the positive review! I must confess that the pictures were actually taken @ 2:30 AM & were the results of lighting experimentation :-[!

Thank you Richard for the positive feedback! WOW :o! I would be afraid to ask if fire insurance premiums were reasonable where you are! I know here on the mainland if fire departments are not equipped above minimum standards, even underground water supply lines can cause insurance premiums to be too high due to risk factors! Does the area suffer from budget problems causing inadequate equipment purchases? I'd be glad to assist in their upgrades :yup:!

Bonjour Bill :wave:
As always, beautiful pictures faithful in every way to the reality of these Depts :wow: :wow:

Hello, Bill ... :wave:
They suffer from paying high salaries and they have too many employees. They need to clean house! Unfortunately this is America's "Banana Republic" ... ::)
However, we'd love to have you come down and "take over" the fire department ... :yippee:
All the best,
Richard

I understand now what the situation is, but rest assured, it can be corrected ;)!

Bill, will you be bringing a small army with you? Or, perhaps a large army?
We can arrange accommodations ... ;D

Hi Bill, :wave:
That's a wonderful collection of rescue you have there!!

I'm not going anywhere without my entire collection just in case, & it will require a large shipping container, so my collection & I will be needing a rather large accomodation :-[! Plus, I think if you & I combine collections we may be needing a small island just to ourselves like Johnny Depp has :lol:!

Thank you b-w! Look for your avatar in my next PCFD District 1 Station 1 update topic in the near future ;)!

Wow, we can feel safe now! :)

... we may be needing a small island just to ourselves like Johnny Depp has :lol: !
My island is bigger than Depp's (of course I have to share it with about 50,000 other people) ... :P
-
Wonderful line-up Bill! I'd love to see some of these crews in action, as Gordon has done in the past.They look neat now, but will they be so organised in the field?
After Tim's comments I looked up the Eugene & Springfield Fire Departments and EMS, and see they als have Dalmations. Is that a tradition in the Fire Service?
As Gordon knows, I have a small Police, Fire & EMS collection, not as extensive as yours, but once I have the room to spread out (67 days and counting) I hope to be able to organise them a little better than they are now (in a big plastic box all rattling around together!). The detail and variety of Police, Fire and EMS that Playmobil have produced over the years is surely greater than any other toy manufacturer.

The PCFD is well trained to be very organized & professional as shown in the photo story PCFD on the scene of a large building fire! Dalmatians are a tradition in the fire service when horse drawn fire engines were in use & their linage being carriage & fierce guard dogs protecting the horses & equipment in fire stations so they were a versatile breed adequately suited for their duties. Today they are more revered as mascots with a heroic tradition. I totally agree with you on the detailed emergency services theme that Playmobil has produced over the years! That is one of many reasons it has been my obsession to collect these toys for quite awhile now!

I can't vouch for ALL 50,000, Bill ... :klickygrin:
