fire engine
Red emergency vehicle
A fire engine is a large vehicle equipped to fight fires, typically carrying water tanks, hoses, pumps, ladders, and other firefighting equipment.
Fire engines transport firefighters to emergency scenes and provide the tools and water supply needed to extinguish blazes.
The term is largely interchangeable with fire truck, though in technical usage fire engines emphasize pumping capability while fire trucks emphasize ladders and rescue equipment.
