Pingu City Fire Service

The **PIngu City Fire Service** (Scottish Gaelic: *Buidheann Smàlaidh Pingu City*) is a small fictional fire and rescue service based within the valleys of South Scotland. There are only two known stations: Firstly, Pingu City: a medium-sized station serving the south half of the area which covers the coastal fishing village of Pingu City and the surrounding forestry and countryside. Due to its location, Pingu City hosts four emergency services that are combined within the fire service as they are called out to incidents together very often or if they are needed. Since the series begun, they are: the Fire and Rescue Service, the Ocean Rescue Service, the Mountain Rescue Service, Fire Paramedics and are assisted by the Police Force.

Secondly, Mickeytown: a large station that covers the northern area which covers the town of Mickeytown and also serves as the fire service's base of operations and it often referred to as HQ.

## Stations

* Mickeytown - Mickeytown Fire Station is the main HQ and largest station in the service. It is very little referenced in Fireman Pingu, but it is mostly mentioned when the Pingu City firefighters learn new skills there (e.g. winter rescue).
* Pingu City Railway Station - This is where Station Officer Pengy and Chief Fire Officer Minnie Jr. were first based when the coal mines were still active before Pingu came to Scotland, they would use the railway system on Bessie to attend to emergencies in the mountains and mines. Soon as the mines closed, they both promoted to their separate ways with Chief Fire Officer Minnie Jr. transferring to Mickeytown and Station Officer Pengy to PIngu City. Now with lots of visitors to the Mountain Activity Centre & the mines, the station is now in use again, "Just Like the Old Days".
* Pingu City - Originally built in 2006, Pingu City Fire Station was no larger than an average retained fire station, only housing Jupiter and their skills were limited. Throughout the years, their skills and facilities have greatly improved such as having a larger garage built to house Venus and Jupiter permanently and completely rebuilding the interior of the fire station in order to have the entire ground floor with an office, a garage and a small kitchen on the top floor with a balcony outside. Since The Series begun, they now have a state-of-the-art fire station with many technological features and developing new skills such as amphibious and animal rescue capabilities.

Since The Series begun, the Mountain and Ocean Rescue Centres are part of the fire service each with their unique fire service logo.
