Fire truck

A fire truck is a big red vehicle that helps firefighters put out fires. It has a lot of special tools and equipment that help firefighters do their job.

The fire truck has a big water tank and a hose that firefighters can use to spray water on a fire. The truck also has ladders that can be extended to reach high places where the fire is burning.

Sometimes the fire truck has a special platform called an aerial ladder that can lift firefighters up high so they can fight fires from above. The truck also has lights and sirens so it can quickly get to the fire.

Inside the truck, there are seats for the firefighters, as well as cabinets and compartments where they keep their gear and tools. The truck has a loud horn that the driver can use to warn people to get out of the way.

When there is a fire, firefighters jump on the fire truck and race to the scene as fast as they can. Once they arrive, they work together to put out the fire and keep everyone safe.
