Fire engines are some of the most beautiful vehicles of them all! They have developed from horse drawn steam powered pumps to shining chrome and colored vehicles with flashy lights and sirens. Fire engines or pumpers are used for putting out fires while fire trucks are for victim rescue, roof ventilation, and controlling the fire should it grow larger. Fire engines include equipment like hoses, pumps and water tanks.Frire trucks include ladder trucks. Fire trucks are all about public service – they come to help you if your house is on fire or an accident has happened. The understanding is that anything 50 to 100 years old is vintage and anything 100 years old or older is considered an antique and our selection is not always precise. We honor all fire fighters and rescue workers on this 4th of July 2023 and hope you will enjoy our selection of photoes.
