fire truck
Red emergency vehicle
A fire truck is a large vehicle equipped to fight fires, carrying hoses, ladders, pumps, and firefighters to the scene.
Fire trucks are typically painted red and equipped with sirens and flashing lights.
Children are often fascinated by them: We took the kids to the fire station to see the trucks.
