fire engines
Red emergency vehicles
Fire engines are large vehicles equipped to fight fires, carrying firefighters, hoses, ladders, pumps, and water tanks.
The term is sometimes used interchangeably with fire truck, though fire truck more often refers to vehicles carrying ladders and rescue equipment rather than water.
We heard the fire engines racing down the street.
