In the mid 1950s, the small town of Fraser Valley built a small fire hall to house its career and volunteer firefighters. Over the years the town has grown into a city around the small building but it has persevered because it had to.
Now it's old, run down, outdated, the plumbing rattles, the pavement is cracking and the asbestos is beginning to fall out of the walls. The quaint little firehouse that was once in its prime now fails its own fire codes. But.....it's cheap, fully functional and still houses the firefighters needed to protect those in peril.
The firehouse includes sleeping quarters, an office, dispatch area, kitchen, basement recreation and athletic area, apparatus bay with 2 fire engines and a captain's truck, with a hose tower at the back of the building. The upstairs, being built before women could be firefighters, only has a male bath/shower area. The women's bathroom and showers were installed decades later and are housed in the basement level.
The CFE cheat was used to raise the ceiling in the apparatus bay so the engines wouldn't hit the roof! LOL. But it's a firehall, and I wanted the speedy pole installed, so a small flight of stairs on the kitchen level leads to the pole which connects with the apparatus bay. A set of stairs is situated at the side of the apparatus bay for your firesims to get upstairs. There is also a set connected to the outside of the building leading to the sleeping quarters. Both sets have been tested and worked just fine. The stairs leading to the basement are under the stairs leading upstairs and were difficult to capture in the screenshots, but were tested and also worked fine.
There is no custom content in this build, but it was built with some store items still available on the Sims 3 Store:
Transcendental Window by BahHaus
BahHaus Garage Door v.1
Souped Up Napkin Holder
Rim Rockin? Basketball Hoop
Overly General Dining Chair
Sizzle Baby Pro Deep Fryer

The Following two items cannot be linked as they were pre-order bonuses and are not available in the Sims 3 Store
Decades Pinball Machine -
this item was available as an Origin pre-order bonus with the 70s, 80s and 90s stuff pack. If you do not have it, any pinball machine or arcade machine will do. I only chose this one as it looked dated to fit the aesthetic of the lot.
Whiskers Night of Five Aces (picture):
This item was a Pets pets pre-order bonus, but it not necessary for the lot to work. Any picture you like will do the trick.
This lot has been play-tested and everything worked, however if you find any issues please let me know.
I had a lot of fun building it and I hope you like it too! Enjoy!!
