*** And because a handful of instances have now cropped up, here's a filmography of productions that have built replica sections of Fire Station №23:
•
Big Trouble in Little China (1986) (Replica of the hose tower in the apparatus room, for the shot of a hidden firepole leading into the San Fransisco sewers)
•
Ghostbusters II (1989) (The Firehouse darkroom, and adjoining laboratory, with inspiration for the design drawn from the original fire station)
•
Coca-Cola Classic: Ghostbusters II Sweepstakes (1989) (Replica apparatus room loosely based on the original fire station)
•
Flatliners (1990) (A replica portion of the dormitory, possibly because the production were unable to use Fire Station №23 for additional filming/reshoots, with inspiration for the design drawn from the original fire station)
•
Mother/The Haunted Heart (1994) (Replica of the Chief's bathroom for an electrocution effects shot, featuring pyrotechnic sparks, loosely based on the original fire station)
•
Profiler (1996 - 1998) (Replica of the Chief's penthouse, for repeated filming across multiple series. The set was a very loose replica of the original fire station, with the exception of the elevator car... Which was pretty spot-on)
•
Grey's Anatomy (2010 - 2012) (Replica of the Chief's penthouse, for repeated filming across multiple series. Heavy inspiration from the original fire station, but loosely laid out)
•
Ghostbusters: Answer The Call (2016) (Replica apparatus room closely based on the original fire station)
•
Intuit QuickBooks (2019) (Replica apparatus room, featuring Janine's desk, Peter's office, and the staircase. A very closely achieved effort)
•
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) (Closely achieved replica apparatus room, replica basement, a lose replica of the dormitory space, with inspiration drawn to depict the previously-unseen top floor of the Firehouse)
If anyone knows of any appearances that aren't on this list, I'm all ears.
