Firefighters are admirable figures for good reason: they selflessly put themselves on the line in service to their larger communities. And many a playground session has been spent by kids acting out daydreams of what they imagine it’s like to work a job as an adult. Appropriately then, the R-Town Fire House is one of the best playhouses for encouraging youngsters to work towards becoming real life heroes someday. The bold primary colors of the structure combine with the lush exterior illustrations to instantly draw kids to the faux building. A friendly fire hydrant smiles at them from the side of the house while a kind Dalmatian wearing an oversized department helmet sits near the front door. Clear signage and classic hose and ladder decorations help complete the illusion of this being an animated fire station brought to life in the middle of the playground. The R-Town Fire House is a fantastic place for youth to gather and begin emulating the work of these brave and women.
