A car or a 4WD?

Posted by Night City Dream in Russian Federation on 14 October 2009

I don't really understand why this set is called a "Fire car". Probably in order to differentiate it from the 7942?

This is a typical off-road vehicle. If it was a car, it should have had smaller wheels that are not almost used any longer. So, this is an SUV.

As for the design, I think it's nothing oustanding. The 4WD repeats much the famous 6525 but is worse. The oldest brother has certainly a better look. That's why I give this set only 4.

However, the set is small but not empty. A 4WD + one man + accessories, all together at a moderate price.

Any Fire, Any Location…

I was recently in my local ASDA and walked down the Toys and Games aisle and spotted this set for £3.49 so I placed one in the trolley!

I knew the set was basic, but it’s really very good, and for the money well worth every penny! The Fire ‘Car’ is more like an off-road vehicle which would be more than capable of attending an incident anywhere a small jeep could get to … literally. Good ground clearance, open-top and complete with a roll-bar with ‘lights’ make this a great little set. There is also a small fire extinguisher and axe; these have dedicated storage areas in the vehicle, unlike some of the latest larger sets which cannot accommodate all the accessories provided. The fireman comes complete with his pressed uniform and white helmet, and by the look of that moustache and beard has been out in the sticks fighting fires or rescuing people for a few days.

A really cheap addition to any City scene or diorama.

small but efective

Posted by alosx in Estonia on 28 July 2009

This is a reminder of fire chief cars of the early nineties. Detailes have changed (wider wheels, lower windscreen), but the concept is the same: small cheap set with lots of playability! This (not the old one, that my friends did have) was the first lego set, that gave me proper lego wheels.

pros:
cheap
very easy to build and modify!

cons:
minifig. If it would have been a little bit more average citizen, not the fire chief, it would have been easyer to link with other sets.

conc: Love it, it has a sentimental value to me, it should have a monetary value for you, because, it is a cheap way to get some wheels.

Basic... But Good

Posted by pod120 in Australia on 21 February 2009

My Oma bought this set for me in September 2006 knowing I had just started collecting sets from the Lego City range and it was also the last one in the shop. Not really a great design but a good, small contribution to the fire crew.

Pros
-Car fits in carport in 7240 Fire Station
-Axe is different colour to other fire axes in sets 7238, 7239 and 7240
-Fire Emblem is printed and not a sticker

Cons
-Slightly basic design
-Minifig looks like an idiot that thinks he knows everything
