This article describes a feature in the first Apocalypse Rising
A Fire Station being looted at night.
A Fire Station in Kin industry.
Overview
Fire Stations are civilian buildings that are found in Apocalypse Rising. They will be re-designed in a future update to add more rooms, floors and a posibility of fire trucks spawning within them. They were changed when the Kin Reborn map came out.
The Fire Station is a medium sized, beige building that is common within urban and military areas. Its most distinct feature is the tower it erects on its side. The building includes 6 openings on the surface level that are opened by red doors, 3 doors on one side and 3 doors on the other. When one goes inside, they will find stairs leading up the tower in a spiral form. A variety of supplies can spawn in this building, ranging from food , drinks , backpacks , ammunition , and weapons. Why weapons (and military weapons, at that) spawn in Fire Stations is unknown, as, shockingly enough, you don't put out fires with bullets, bombs and backpacks. However, this could be because the Military and Police Forces were using the Fire Stations as places to hold out from the Infected. The Fire Station is also a hot spot for snipers, the tower is known to be a haven for bandits who enjoy to pick off their enemies from a distance. The Fire Station is not recommended to be occupied as a fortification or base, due to its extreme vulnerability to numerous attacks and exposing openings, unless one has all the sufficient supplies for one.
However there is only one actual entrance to the roof so all you have to do is put down one building material a voilà! Its defended. But be warned though, as bandits can sneak in and kill.
Trivia
There are four firestations, one in Hark and Dirk, and two in Kin. In Amend, there are three, in Delve, Strive, and Amend. MA's Firestation is not really a firestation due to it being Military and green.
