If you're interested in fire trucks, you may be surprised to learn that they've come a long way since their humble origins as a bucket wagon. Today, fire trucks are more advanced and equipped than ever to combat fires and save lives. These vehicles are essential to the work of firefighters, so it's only fitting that you learn about some of their most amazing facts. This book will provide you with some basic facts about fire trucks. When fire apparatus first came on the scene, firefighters would sit on the sides of the truck, and stand on the rear. This arrangement made them exposed to the elements and uncomfortable, and could lead to tragic accidents. Some firefighters were even thrown from the fire engine when it made a sudden turn on the road. Nowadays, nearly all fire trucks have enclosed seating areas for firefighters. But before this change, fire apparatus required a lot more funding. The main difference between fire trucks and regular cars is that a fire engine is a triple combination rig with a water tank, hose reel, and pump. Firefighters carry various hoses on their rigs, and many have hose reels that allow them to deploy them quickly and easily. And the tanker is usually loaded with all kinds of stuff to support the deployment of the lines. And if that's not enough, firefighters can customize their equipment to suit the type of fire.
