The [[GTA III Era]] Fire Truck can reach high speeds and has good acceleration, however the resulting lack of traction in such a heavy vehicle makes it susceptible to oversteer and spinning. Like [[Police Car]]s and [[Ambulance]]s, it is equipped with sirens that make traffic move out of the way. Its hose can be used to spray pedestrians, knocking them down. The player can activate [[Firefighter]] missions with the Fire Truck. In GTA San Andreas, a second Fire Truck variant exists, equipped with a ladder but not a water cannon; this variant does not allow the player to trigger the firefighting side-mission. The ladder variant of the Fire Truck is prominently featured during the second half of the mission "[[End of the Line]]", during which it is bulletproof, fireproof, explosion-proof and even damage-proof (much like the [[Feltzer]] pursuing the Fire Truck), but is unobtainable.

Fire Trucks also have lots of hitting power. They can send smaller vehicles flying and will make short work of getting through [[Enforcer]] baricades. When ramming, it is best that you get the Fire Truck to top speed for maximum hitting power.
