A fire engine (also known in some territories as a fire truck, fire lorry, or fire appliance) is a vehicle designed primarily for firefighting operations. The terms "fire engine" and "fire truck" are often used interchangeably; however, in some fire departments/fire services they refer to separate and specific types of vehicle.
The primary purposes of a fire engine include transporting firefighters to an incident scene, providing water with which to fight a fire, and carrying other equipment needed by firefighters. Specialized apparatus are used to provide hazardous materials mitigation and technical rescue. A typical modern fire engine will carry tools for a wide range of firefighting tasks, with common equipment including a pump, a water tank, hoses, ground ladders, hand tools, self-contained breathing apparatuses and medical supplies.
Many fire vehicles are based on standard vehicle models (although some parts may be upgraded to cope with the demands of the vehicles' usage). They are normally fitted with audible and visual warnings, as well as communication equipment such as two-way radios and mobile computer technology.
The Snorkel Articulating Boom Platform revolutionized firefighting as the first elevated firefighting platform. The box-section boom design provides torsional rigidity for superior strength and steady aerial maneuvers with a rock solid platform for firefighting and rescue operations.
