Paramedic Engines



Paramedic Engine 33 

The most common fire truck is the paramedic engine. It carries hoses, medical equipment, and a pump for holding water to put out fires. Over 80% of all fire department calls are medical, so fire engines hold lots of emergency equipment, such as first aid supplies, defibrillators, oxygen masks, and IV equipment. Paramedic engines are stationed at almost every fire station around the world.
