the auditorium
the station has 5 drive through bays and a training tower
the kitchen, with LCD screens as the windows to depict changing weather conditions with simulcast news broadcasts on the tv to teach the appropriate response to severe weather
the lobby with the tools of the trade including a life size EONE rescue pumper with working lights and compartments filled with equipment. The wheels and tires have been cut in half to lower the overall height, allowing children the ability to see the interior without the large step. There is one section of an aerial at the rear to illustrate a ladder truck.
2 views of the miniature town with streets, real signage, lights, an electronic toll booth, and dozens of real buidlings
the miniature buidlings are brick or stone with finished interiors - many replicate actual structures in Frisco, like city hall, the tv station and a fast food restaurant
