They're not called Fire 'Trucks', but rather Fire 'Apparatuses'.

Still, fun little article.

Thanks guys, that was ten years ago, and still a great memory.
Those big guys are hard to drive (talking about the trucks - er, apparatuses). Gave me a new respect for firemen (not like I didn't respect them already... I'm gonna shut up now).
If I can't drive 'em... I'll draw 'em!
