OK, I remember back in '06 or so there was a thread with some shots of the firehouses, but I think with all the new members since then, there have got to be a few more shots out there of one of the working firestation houses on Disney property. ; We're not talking the MK firehouse...but the actual Reedy Creek Improvement District fully-operational firehouses. ; They've got some of the coolest designs in Disney, and are worth a photo or two if you get the chance. Here's one of them...located just across from Saratoga Springs (and my favorite one). ; I hauled myself out of Saratoga while staying there about 3 years back, crossed the street on a very windy, cold night, and set up my tripod on the side of the road to snap some shots with all the great light and color: Please share your firehouse shots too!

i'm hoping we can get to stop by during pixelmania, rumor has it they are very guest friendly for a little tour and photo's hint hint, tim of the rental car www.mcjackie.com/theCreek.html link to a site with pics and photos of the new house, behind the magic kingdom, very attractive bahamian architecture, replaces the corrugated machine shop, no imagination looking current house
I find Disney Firehouses to be just so inviting. Their architecture is so well planned. But then again, so is everything else on the property.
roger as of dec 08 mousefest all the apparatus was still limegreen, although i wonder if when they get a new ladder they will change, i'm thinking they are due soon as that looked like the last cab with open access, all the engines look to be 6-8 man enclosed cabs and i'm not sure but i think i saw a quint in one of the bays
The last that I heard all you need to do is call them and set up a tour. ; i have wanted to do it myself, but haven't had the chance, and since there are going to be a small group of us public servants down there for pixelmania, i would rather enjoy a little tour myself. ; Would be something that I wouldn't normally do with my family. ; Great idea!
I'm not a public servant, but I'd still love to do that - a tour of all four firehouses would be awesome! ; My family is chock full of cops and firemen (big surprise from an Irish New Jersey boy)...and it would be an awesome photo tour too.
BTW - Here's a link to RCFD Local 2117's official website's station photo gallery, with pics of all four houses: http://www.reedycreek.org/index.cfm?dsp ... agenum=127 Their main site is www.reedycreek.org.
