 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. Most vehicles can be push out of the way by the Fire Truck.
-In GTA San Andreas, in addition to the standard Fire Truck, 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 nor does it have sirens. 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), it also has heavy handling but is apparantly unobtainable, as it loses it's special property when failing to catch [[Sweet]], although it is possible to get close enough to highjack it but it is locked. Also, it is worth noting that the ladder version of the fire truck IS enabled to use the [[Pay N' Spray]] although nothing happens except for the vehicle getting repaired.

+The '''Firefighter''' side mission can be toggled on or off from within a Fire Truck in all GTA games between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, as well as GTA Chinatown Wars. The mission requires the player to find and extinguish burning vehicles within a time limit.
+== Prominent appearance in mission ==
+The ladder variant of the Fire Truck in GTA San Andreas 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); it also has heavy handling, but loses its special properties when the player fails to catch [[Sweet]] after he clings on to its ladder and falls. It is also worth noting that the vehicle is enabled to use the [[Pay N' Spray]], allowing the player to repair the vehicle.
+During the mission, the ladder Fire Truck is apparently unobtainable and locked, although it is possible to drive close enough to the vehicle and attempt to hijack it.
