The top fire truck is a pumper the second fire truck aerial an aerial is a ladder truck that goes higher than 1feet in the air. Some aerial have a basket the basket is so firefighters can rescue people easier. 

The lags on the aerial keep the truck from tipping. The mars light are the emergency lights. The ladder is on a boom. The boom is  what raises the ladder up and down. 

The pumper truck is to pump water through the hoses so they can put out the fire. They can control the pounds of presser of water that go through the hose.  They control the pump at the pump panel. The pump panel has lots of levers and has gages to tell what the water presser that is going through the hose. The pumper usually has has lots of hose is on it.

Firefighting

I like to be on the Storm Lake fire dept. On the 24th of October Storm Lake had a house fire. The fire started around 12 in the afternoon we were on the scene for 6 or 7 hours. The fire broke out in the garage and the house was totaled. The fire dept. has 7 firetrucks 34 firefighters. Firefighting is my passion,  I have been around the fire dept. since I was born. When I was 5, I started my garage on fire and I tried to put it out with a garden hose. So I guess I was destined to be a firefighter!
