The verdict

This is one of those City sets that just works the second a kid gets their hands on it.

The garage shutters roll, the truck fires water darts, the helicopter flings little splat pieces at a flame, and honestly that is most of the appeal right there. I like it a lot as a play toy, I just can't pretend the interior is deep or that the full retail price is fair. Grab it on a discount and it becomes an easy yes.

Best for: Kids aged 6 and up who want a fire station they can actually play with, not display

The full review

What it is

The Fire Station 60320 is a 540-piece City set from 2022, and it is exactly the kind of thing I would have lost whole afternoons to as a kid. You build a three-level firehouse with a control room, sleeping quarters, a reception area and a garage, plus a fire truck and a small helicopter. It comes with five minifigures, a dog and a cat, and two of the figures are pulled from the LEGO City Adventures TV show, Freya McCloud and Finn McCormack. The thing that got me is how much of it moves. The garage shutters actually roll up and down, the truck launches water-dart pieces, and the helicopter flings little splat elements to knock a flame off the building. It is built to be played with, and it does that job beautifully.

The catch

I have to be straight with you about two things, though. The first is depth. For a fire station, the interior is surprisingly thin. Reviewers on Brickset pointed out there are no fire bells, no hoses, no proper ladder storage, and the fire engine itself does not have an integrated ladder, which for a fire set feels like an odd thing to leave out. The building is shallow front to back, so the rooms read more as suggestions than fully kitted spaces. The second thing is price. At full recommended retail this set is genuinely expensive for what you get, and part of that cost is the chunky road plate padding the box. The consensus I kept running into was blunt: at sticker price, skip it, and wait for a sale.

Who it's for

So who is this actually for. If you are buying for a child around six to nine who wants something to swoosh and crash and set up little rescue scenarios, this is close to ideal, and the built-in play features hold up over time in a way a static display piece never would. The road plate connectivity is a nice touch if there is already a City street growing on the floor. If you are an adult collector chasing clever building techniques or a detailed diorama, this one will leave you a bit cold, because the construction is straightforward and there are no real surprises in the process. My honest advice: watch for that 20 to 30 percent discount, because at the right price this jumps from a fair set to a really good one.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build itself is quick and friendly, the kind you can finish in well under an hour, and it splits neatly into three parallel projects (the station, the truck, and the helicopter) so more than one person can build at once. That makes it a lovely one to do alongside a kid. There is nothing here that will challenge an experienced builder, no fiddly SNOT sections or advanced techniques, but the instructions are clean and the pace is satisfying for the age it targets.

The parts that stood out to me are the functional ones rather than any rare printed gems. The garage shutter elements are the highlight, they roll smoothly and feel properly engineered. The road plate is a big, useful piece that ties into the wider City system, though it does inflate the box. You also get the fun ammunition pieces (water-dart elements for the truck and splat pieces for the helicopter) plus a nice handful of accessories: four helmets, a walkie-talkie, a fire axe, a mug, a pizza box, and a fire extinguisher. The little cat figure quietly won people over in reviews. For part-count value it is fair rather than generous, which circles right back to buying it on a discount.
