Rarity
Common. This figure was mass-produced for the City Fire sub-theme and appeared in mid-to-high range sets during the 2020-2021 production cycle.
Head
Yellow skin tone with female features, including orange-brown eyebrows, eyelashes, and a smiling mouth with pink lipstick. It is a single-sided print.
Torso
Black fire jacket with lime and silver reflective stripes, featuring a silver zipper and carabiner print. Arms are black with yellow hands.
Legs
Black legs with lime and silver reflective stripes printed on the lower legs to match the firefighter uniform style.
Accessories
Equipped with a Bright Light Orange life jacket (safety vest) and a White Fire Helmet with a Trans-Light Blue visor. In the image context, she is operating a large white water stud-shooter assembly.
Color Scheme
The primary colors are Black and Yellow, accented with Bright Light Orange (life jacket) and Lime (reflective stripes).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and the front of the legs. The reflective stripes use a metallic silver ink to simulate real firefighter gear.
Variants
There are numerous City Firefighters with this torso; variants typically differ by the head piece or headgear (hair vs. helmet). This specific configuration (cty1148) is the standard maritime fire rescue version.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the visor hinge on the helmet, which can loosen over time, and potential scratching on the life jacket piece due to its bulky nature.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $3.00 USD; New: $4.00 - $5.00 USD. Value is largely tied to the set as a whole rather than the individual figure.
Price (New)
Included in set 60213 (Dock Side Fire) which retailed for $19.99 USD, and set 60214 (Burger Bar Fire Rescue) for $39.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
60213 Dock Side Fire (2019/2020), 60214 Burger Bar Fire Rescue (2019), and other City Fire Command sets.
Character Background
A generic City Firefighter unit member specializing in maritime and dockside emergencies. Part of the 2019-2020 'Fire' wave that introduced water-shooting play features.
Design Notes
The life jacket is a specialized piece that fits over the torso neck peg, a design used to distinguish maritime rescue from standard structural firefighting.
Similar Minifigures
cty0947 (Fire - Female), cty1209 (Fire - Male with Life Jacket), and other LEGO City firefighters from the 2019-2021 era.
Collectibility
Low individual collectibility. Essential for 'City' builders but common enough that it does not command a premium in the collector market.
History
Represents the modern era of City Firefighters where LEGO moved away from pure 'red/white' themes toward a more realistic 'black/lime' safety color palette.
Interesting Facts
The 'water' elements she shoots are actually Trans-Light Blue 1x1 round tiles, a major play-feature innovation for this specific wave of City sets.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on the deck of the Fire Boat (60213) as shown in the image, or within a City Dock MOC (My Own Creation).
Modification Potential
The head can be easily swapped with hair pieces (like the red hair seen on the pilot in the image) for 'off-duty' scenes. Torso and legs are highly useful for custom emergency service MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed utility figure that fulfills its role perfectly in a play set. While not a high-value rarity, its design is accurate and durable for play.
