Image description
The image shows a massive six-wheeled vehicle, called a fire truck or special vehicle, used mainly to extinguish fires, viewed from side and facing left.
It is distinguished from other vehicles by the fact that it has a body car specially designed to include all the equipment necessary for the emergency response team.
The truck has a sturdy ladder, which can be long enough to allow the firefighter access to the building, through windows, at different floors, when circumstances do not allow the use of the door.
The emergency ladder is located at the top of the car, marked by an elongated, horizontal rectangle, embossed, in which is illustrated a row of blank squares, these representing the steps, at its left edge being the support on which the fireman stands, highlighted through a larger square cut by an inverted cross.
Below the ladder are necessary items for extinguishing fires, consisting mainly of fire extinguishers, pump, hose, tanks and survival equipment (heat suits, breathing apparatus, intervention tools in hard to reach spaces).
The hose is rolled on a metal bar, under the ladder, in the middle, rendered by parallel and vertical lines.
The driver’s cab on the left is shown embossed and has a squarish door window at the top, at the base of which is a three-step staircase, all outlined by a thick and empty line.
The wheels are characterized by very thick tires, marked by embossed circles, with a blank dot in the center.
A man is standing in the right bottom corner, thus positioned to facilitate the comparison of the dimensions of the vehicle to the height of an adult.
