Sterling F.D.

Sterling's station is a very neat building. Given the date it was built it was well ahead of its time.  The bunk rooms are private, the bays are sized large enough for modern apparatus even though the building is from the 1960's, there's a fantastic design for washing and drying hose, etc. The entire building is concrete including the roof, so the thing is virtually bomb proof. Those who go visit these places the building is worth a stop, and as a bonus their original Ahrens Fox rig sits in the maintenance bay at the rear of the building.
