Created by Comak Tiny Homes, Firehouse tiny house is inspired by the selfless work of firefighters and first responders. The name and the design of the Firehouse pays an ode to these brave people. The micro-dwelling is built on a double-axle trailer and is designed for two people to live in comfortably. While the dimensions of this downsized abode have not been shared by the manufacturer, it looks like a dreamy place that can be used as a full-time residence or a vacation rental.
This tiny house project was commissioned by Len Litowitz who collected local-to-Lancaster county firehouse artifacts along with his father. They wanted to build a tiny firehouse museum that would also serve as a rental house for guests.
The exterior of the tiny house reminds of the traditional fire stations mostly found in towns and small cities. The features board and batten painted in a dark yellow color, while the door and fire station-themed windows have been painted red with ‘Rescue’ and ‘Engine’ written above them. There is even a firehouse bell on the roof which gives the perfect vibe to the house and goes with the theme.
Just like the outer appearance, the interior of the Firehouse tiny house has elements of a fire station in different parts. The walls and the ceiling are painted white to give an expansive feel.
The kitchen has rustic wooden countertop fitted with cooktop on the left, sink/faucet in the middle, and working station at the right. The storage cabinets below the countertop can be used to store necessary kitchen items. For storage of food items, there is an apartment size fridge near the countertop. The large windows in the kitchen suffice for ample natural light during the daytime and proper airflow if residents wish to keep them open. There is ceiling fan in this area to keep it cool during hot days. If it gets too hot, the air conditioning comes to the rescue.
The small living room has a yellow couch and faces a wall-mounted TV for in-house entertainment. A breakfast bar with two stools offers designated space for eating. Adjacent is a staircase leading to the loft bedroom. Climbing the stairs you will notice the antique figurines of firefighters carefully placed in the a cabinet.

The loft bedroom has some interesting additions that relate to firefighting. There is a red colored fire alarm box mounted on the wall that gives it a museum-like feel. There is even a fireman’s pole in one corner of the bedroom, from where you can slide down to the kitchen. Such poles are used by firefighters to quickly descend to the ground floor when they need to respond to an emergency.
A door next to the fridge in the kitchen has ‘Hose Room’ written on it but leads to the bathroom of Firehouse tiny house. The bathroom features a shower and a small vanity with a black bowl-shaped basin and storage space under it. Just above the toilet seat, there is a fire hose pipe integrated into the wall, so that guests don’t miss the feel of a fire station even when they are using this part of the customized tiny house.
