Large, cushy lounge chairs replace the well-worn couches that also took up too much room. When they had couches, people would sleep on them, but now with the individual chairs, the firefighters have a better use of the space. Underneath the cushions on the lounge chairs are little storages drawers –– perfect for holding videotapes and DVDs.

To keep everyone's personal items organized, 40 individual storage pockets are hung on the wall next to the lounge. Now, when each person is done with a magazine, newspaper or puzzle book, he or she can store it in this personalized pocket. In the gaming area, the pool table and dartboard are now out in the open and ready for action.
