Types of Fire Trucks

Pumper:  This is the truck you see most of the time.  You may see them during Fire Prevention Week when the firefighters visit many 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 water.

Tanker:  This truck is about 30 feet long and holds more than 1,000 gallons of water.  It is always kept filled with water.  The tanker truck can get water from ponds or canals. 

Ladder:  This truck has a very long ladder on top.  The ladder is about 100 feet long.  At the end of the ladder is a bucket for firefighters to get to the top of a building.  Ladder trucks are much longer than pumpers or tankers.  A ladder truck can be 40 to 50 feet long.
