The difference between an old and new fire truck is that a modern fire truck is in most cases a multi-purpose truck that carries both fire fighters and fire equipment for different fire-fighting and rescue tasks. That’s why fire engines usually carry things like ladders, pike poles, axes, cutting equipment and other useful tools. In old or ancient fire trucks you wont always find all of these abilities and the more advanced features such as heavy duty suspensions, transmission and cooling systems. But you’ll surely find part of the familiar equipment of fire engines and apparatuses such as sirens, horns, and flashing lights.
