LEGO City set 60003, “Fire Emergency”, depicts a fire service response within the Fire subtheme. Released in 2013, it contains 301 pieces and belongs to the urban City range focused on emergency services.
“Fire Emergency” sits in the City theme, specifically in the Fire branch. Set 60003 is built around an emergency scene rather than a complete fire station, placing it among the action focused additions that can expand a LEGO city layout.
The set contains 301 pieces and 3 minifigures. These names point to black fire suits, dark red helmets, and one figure equipped with breathing apparatus.
It is suited to play scenes involving a fire response, while also fitting into a displayed City layout. Within the Fire subtheme, it works as a supporting set, adding firefighters and emergency context without serving as the main fire service building in a collection.
