It also includes 2 fully-furnished floors with fire-fighting tools, racks for the firemen's helmets, fire-pole, ping-pong table, kitchen with fully-stocked fridge, couch, bookshelf and a roof with a water tower and bell.

SUMMARY:

This is a big set. It took me a couple of days to build. I like the minifigs have the classic grin. There are lots of nice little details. The price is similar to other modular sets.
