What Kind of themed decor suggestions for a firehouse wedding?

Question

My fiance and I are getting married next September in a firehouse in DC, we're then having the reception at a nearby hall (which happens to be attached to another firehouse. He's a firefighter and he chose the location. I have always been into very formal elegant affairs, so they are going to be in navy dress uniforms etc. The wedding colors are Aubergine, Sage and Cream. I've got all my froofy stuff planned with no problem, but I have no clue about adding "firefighter" touches to stuff that aren't horrendously cheesy. I'm not allowed to put anything on the engines, or some of the equipment inside. 

First thing I'm going to take 360 degree shots of everything and work ideas from there.We live a few hours from DC so its not exactly easy to pop in and think of things. 

So.......with all that in mind, I really need help with ideas for decor that's theme related.

Like you said--you don't want to go too far as firefighting as a theme can easily jump into cheesy and clash with your formal affair.

You could go with Fire and Ice.  You could go with puppy love and use a few touches of dalmatians.  You could go with flames.  You really don't need a theme though.  especially since the colors of fires aren't really in your color scheme.
