Disney Fire Dept.

Here is a little bit of trivia for you. Walt Disney had the space above the Fire Department converted into his own private quarters. Sometimes he would spend the night there when he had late nights working at the park. One of his favorite things to do was to inspect the park in the morning before it opened and filled with people. After he died the living space was kept pretty much for family use. the lamp in the window above the garage stays lit in honor of Walt's memory. You know someone is in the apartment if the fire carriage is pulled out of the garage because it gets noisey in the apartment if they don't. You can find pictures of his quarters if you google it. Sometimes people get to have lunch in there when they win member's only contests.
