If you’re ever in need of a emergency rescue, look no further than LEGO City’s finest as built here by Jordan Parmegiani! This firetruck is extremely well outfitted, with hatches containing a wide array of firefighting and rescue tools. Those hatches themselves are interesting. The large hatches were released in 1994 (making them just older than me) and were still in production in 2023, while the smaller hatches are originally from train sets released in 1991. Jordan has also made excellent use of official LEGO stickers in this build! The fire badge on the roof of the truck is lifted from a firetruck from 2013, and the large number 4 designation is from one from 2019. Even though this truck is called #4, I think it’s number 1 in our hearts!

The airport rescue squad is here for that one passenger in seat 4C
This is likely not the kind of thing you want to see as you’re finally taxiing down the airport tarmac, but it is cool nonetheless. Steven Asbury has built this two-person crew LEGO Airport Fire Department Fast Response Squad. Custom stickers and chrome bits along with its lime green livery makes this rescue truck truly a sight to behold. The plane in the background and the bit of runway offers just enough detail to convey a busy airport. Seeing one of these bad boys most often means someone in First Class doesn’t agree with pre-flight safety directions (its always First Class!) or someone tampered with the smoke alarm in the bathroom. They mean serious business when they say not to mess with it. Once one of these arrives at the scene it is probably best to calmly get into the brace for crash position and remain that way all the way to Denver.
It is quite clear that Steven loves fire and rescue trucks. Here we previously featured a scene that likely has to do with rescuing a cat from a tree.
Red resilient rescuers ready to respond, react and recover
If you take your LEGO city build and public services seriously, these are the unsung city rescue heroes you need. Steven Asbury has some serious skills that bring these vehicles to life, consisting of a rescue boat that sits four minifigures towed by a truck, along with a proper fire truck ready to pump out some high-pressured H20 to show who’s the boss around here.
The Coast Guard is Always Ready
Semper Paratus, the US Coast Guard’s motto, means “Always Ready” and this gorgeous render of a Reliance class Coast Guard cutter by Matt Bace (mmbace) indeed looks ready for anything. The helicopter on the back is particularly cool, and the ship looks fantastic in white with the iconic red stripe.
