We have 2 different kinds of
fire trucks. This guide will help you tell them apart when you see them on
the road. |
PUMPER TRUCK ** This is the truck you see most of the time. ** You may see them during Fire Prevention Week when the
firefighters visit our schools and community fire-safety programs. ** Pumper trucks are sometimes called
to car accidents because the gasoline in the car's tank may leak and catch on
fire. ** A pumper truck is about 30 feet long and holds some water |
|
|
|
|
QUINT TRUCK ** The quint truck does the work of
both a pumper and a ladder truck. ** Quint means "five" - this truck has a pump, water
tank, hose, ground ladders, and an aerial ladder. ** Firefighters using a quint have the
tools and equipment to do the jobs normally done from a pumper
or a ladder truck. ** The ladder is about 75 feet long. ** The end of the ladder has a bucket for firefighters to get to
the top of a building. ** Our bucket has 2 nozzles that can be used to flow water onto a
roof or into the window of high buildings. ** Ladder trucks are much longer than pumpers. |
