firetrucks

Ladder-carrying engines

Firetrucks are large vehicles equipped to fight fires, carrying hoses, ladders, pumps, and firefighters to emergencies.

They're typically painted bright red with flashing lights and sirens.

The phrase holy firetrucks! serves as a minced oath, substituting for profanity: What the firetrucks is going on?
