Insights

Released in the late 1980s, Fire Fighter 4020 is a vintage Boats entry with a floatable hull and classic Town styling, and sealed examples are scarce while collector interest remains steady. Low remake risk for the fire subtheme supports resilience, and values are condition-sensitive.

Set Facts

The set includes a large red floating fire boat with antennas, an opening control room, and a detachable engine.
It comes with three firefighter minifigures: two firefighters and a captain.
The set is also known as "Fire Ship."

“The fire boat features a smart one-piece red hull with a grey deck which is stepped up at the bow with a raised gunwale. Far aft is a lower deck area which features a winch in a housing unit with cable and hook attached. There is also a red control point from which a minifig... More can ‘use’ the winch.”

About Boats

The Boats theme was a LEGO System theme that ran from 1982 to 1996 and consisted of 12 sets. Unlike most town sets, the sets in the Boats, also known as Floating Boats, really did float in water. Initiakky the boats were made from single piece hulls but later sets introduced multi-hulled boats. After 1996 boats became part of the LEGO City theme.
