LEGO has a knack for capturing the imaginations of builders of all ages, and as we’ve covered previously, LEGO building can be a particularly useful stress reliever for anyone wanting to unplug after shifts (and none more so than our founder, Kory Pearn!).

For those looking to stick with a familiar theme, LEGO also happens to have an abundant number of firefighter-themed sets, ranging from quick 200-piece builds to this very ambitious undertaking.

Really, you can’t go wrong with anything LEGO, but here are eight of our favorite firefighter-themed LEGO sets that every brick-building firefighter and their families should have:
