The set contains just one minifigure. He is a jolly looking gentleman with a happy smiling face showing his teeth. He has brown facial hair consisting of a beard and mustache as well as brown eye brows. He wears a white helmet. His torso is printed both sides. On the front he has a green hi-vis vest over his black overalls. The silver high visibilty strip is of a shiny metallic silver as is his belt buckle and part of his flashlight. His hi-vis vest has a pocket on one side and a red torch on the other. Finished off with a dark tan coloured utility belt. Over to the back of the torso the hi-vis strip is continued but divided by the fire service logo which is also metallic silver. The utility belt is also continued on the back and has a metallic silver radio on one side, in the middle is a metallic silver ring and then there are two looped bits on the right which are dark tan to match the belt. His legs are printed on the front with green and metallic silver on black as well as having print for his front pockets. To finish off he has dark grey gloves.
The Build
The build consists of a fire car and a green dust bin. The dust bin itself is green without a lid piece and comes with a transparent orange flame piece that fixes to a brown 1x1 round brick via a hole in the top of it. The brick and flame are not attached inside the dust bin and just sits inside loosely.
Now moving on to the fire car. It is primarily red in colour as it is an emergency fire vehicle. There is some white, grey and black pieces for contrast. On the front of the car is a radiator grill between two transparent yellow smooth tile studs which sits above a 1x4 white smooth tile. On the bonnet area is a printed piece with a fire service emblem. There is a variety of different pieces to then make up the rest of the shape of the vehicle which includes a white based black steering wheel. There is a 2x2 space for the minifigure to sit inside the car. Behind that is a white fence rail piece with two transparent blue smooth tile studs on top. These are the emegency lights when whizzing through busy Lego streets! Behind that there is a 2x2 area where the dustbin can rest. On the rear of the vehicle is two grey clips which hold a black fire axe and a black radio accessory. Integrated into the rear of the car are two 1x1 transparent red plates for the rear lights. Our fire man also has his trusty fire hose which is made up of a yellow 'tap' piece and a yellow 1x1 round brick which is shown in the final photograph at the end of the review. That just about covers the build.
The Verdict
I have to admit I do like the design of the car although simple it is rather effective for the low piece count. It has enough playability on it's own but with only a dust bin fire to put out our little fireman might be twiddling his thumbs for most the day. This would make a great little addition to any Lego City collection. I do recommend this set if you are able to get your hands on it. We must leave it here as our busy fireman has a dust bin fire to attend to!
