Who the hell reviews a fire station — I know, I know.
I don’t own property in Beverly Hills but my friend with a little tomboy does. She is currently obsessed with firetrucks… maybe because they are red and makes lots of noise. In the past couple of months, the 3 of us have been to this station on Rexford a few times. We weren’t there to surrender the kid (harhar), but to see if any engines were parked outside or if any would speed off to save the day.
My buddy lives about a couple blocks away from the fire station so they walk over on a regular basis on their way to the library. It’s almost like going to the park for them. I tagged along one time when they were going to National Night Out, a community event hosted by the city’s emergency services to demonstrate safety of sorts.
There were a handful of fire engines on display, a trained dog made a quick appearance, and a half dozen firefighters i assume from this station were ready to give eager kids a try in the yellow fire suits. The firefighters were more than patient and friendly. They answered every nosy kid’s every mundane question and basically made the firefighting career look fun. I’m sure most kids that day went home determined to grow up to be firefighters. The guys in uniforms were also handing out sticker badges like Halloween candy, as well as red firefighter hats to whose who wanted one.
This review isn’t about National Night Out, though. The firefighters here are nice and down to earth. On another occasion, we were walking the kid and their dog and passed by the fire station. A fire engine was parked out front and the show-​off kid was pointing and rattling off parts like wheel, ladder, hose, etc when a fire fighter came out to say hello. He could have totally yelled at us for standing out in front of the station and being in the way, but he was hospitable.
We were a good distance away to do anything suspicious to the truck and he was friendly nonetheless. He whipped out a business card holder full of sticker badges and handed one to the kid. She beamed the biggest smile. It was actually adorable. The firefighter took a few minutes to explain what they do and mentioned that they do organized school tours, etc.
Pleasant experiences with this station! Who knew?
