Welcome to the Talon City Fire Station!

Station 108 is located centrally in Talon City, but is typically understaffed and definitely overworked.

Along with the COPS pages, Talon City's exploration into dragon and gryphon aided public service will be set here!

The station itself is a modern block-wide building that incorporates not only the fire house but rescue, hazard, medical and exotic response teams. The central portion of the building is a 3 story rise for the housing of teams and the administrative work. Facing each street surrounding this block are the building's garages. For any given emergency-ridden day, at least two of those sets of rollup doors are open and waiting for their brave service folk to return.

The building is a marvel - costing quite a lot more than the city was prepared to fork over until a massive fire crept into the area from the surrounding hills. Shortly after this wildfire - one of California's worst on record, counting the lives lost and homes destroyed - the city's budget rapidly included refitting the existing Firehouses with new amenities, if not outright building new ones. Sadly the budget is still falling a bit short, so there are several rooms left unpainted and even a few without working fixtures. The fact is that the firefighters salaries must come first. If they want to paint the place, that's their problem.
