Fun Facts About Fire Trucks
Fire trucks are some of the most important vehicles in the world. They play a key role in fighting fires, transporting people to and from emergency sites, and protecting life and property. Fire trucks are also among the most recognizable vehicles in the world.
The fire truck industry is a big business. The U.S. Fire Administration reports that there are nearly 2,000 fire trucks on the road in the United States today, which works out to about one truck for every 8,000 people. That’s a lot of trucks!
In addition to the big rigs, fire trucks come in many sizes and shapes and can be found on roads throughout the world.
Bumper-truck fire engines (aka pumper trucks)
These are small pumpers that are usually built on light-duty pickup truck frames. They are usually driven by volunteer firefighters and operate from small stations located near or at a scene of a fire or other emergency. Most pumper trucks have capacities of less than 10 gallons per minute (gpm) but some can deliver as much as 50 gpm if needed. Pumper trucks often carry water in hoses that connect them to hydrants located at the scene of an emergency or at a nearby station where they can be filled with water before being used to fight fires or other emergencies.
Bumper-truck pumper firefighters also use foam extinguishers called “water bottles” which they can carry on their belts and use to extinguish fires with water from their hoses when it is needed most. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that approximately 3 million pumper firefighters serve communities across America today.
