If you're into fire vehicles - especially older ones - check out both the National SPAAMFAA (Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America) club (web site here) or its two California Chapters; the California Chapter (web site here) is state-wide but slightly more concentrated in Northern California, whereas the Southern California Chapter (web site here) is more SoCal based.

Whether your future firefighter is a fan of LEGO®, or you just appreciate creativity, visit the Lego Township Fire Department. They also feature some fun details about fire call boxes and how they work.
