The kitchen at Edina’s Fire Station 1 is designed for utility: ample pale-wood cupboards, extensive white countertops, gas stovetop with a sizable range hood overhead, stainless steel mixer and toaster, and a heavy-duty, easy-to-clean concrete floor. Adjacent to the equally utilitarian tables and chairs is a set of recliners, looking for all the world like a La-Z-Boy showroom. There are no dogs present, save for the collection of stuffed Dalmatians perched in the second-floor windows. With no alarms going off at the moment, it’s a serenely quiet—and spotlessly clean—place for Station 1’s firefighters to hang out and wait to be needed.
