Pontypandy Fire Station, is a large Full-Time fire station based in the Small coastal village of Pontypandy. Originally, it was a small station which housed Jupiter, but after some time it was gradually extended to also house Venus as well.
In Heroes of the Storm, the fire station was completely rebuilt with a new and modern outlook. The new fire station now has four vehicle bays and can hold up to 5 rescue vehicles.
