The Firehouse Kitchen Table is one of the most used pieces of furniture in firehouses across the country. This is where crews unwind after a tough run, break bread at meal times, give reports at shift change, and solve nearly all of the worlds problems. No matter what department you are with, it’s safe to say that the kitchen table is where tears have been shed, problems have been solved, and where the fellowship takes place on a regular basis. Not to mention, where some of the most funny moments are recorded.
