Sadly, the Firehouse on Main Street in the MK is closed to be "repurposed." Many feel that it will be the headquarters for a new Kim Possible type attraction.
Having said that, they have stated that their intention is to keep the fire department concept. They also are planning to keep collecting patches and hanging them on the wall.
At this time the patches are being collected at City Hall, guest services.
That is all they are talking about right now, so no idea if it will be open in October or not. I seem to doubt it. I am sure it won't re-open until the game is ready. Some rumors are that the closure of the shootin' arcade is also part of the game install. The shootin arcade is not scheduled to re-open until October 1st.
