Prior to GTA III, the Fire Truck's main virtues are its large size and weight, which make the vehicle resilient to damage and difficult for most other cars to ram off-course. Other common traits of these early renditions are their average speed, and poorer acceleration and cornering. While revealed in game files in GTA 1 and GTA London to be valued at $1,500 and £1,500, respectively, the vehicle cannot be exported as it is too large.

Other common traits of these early renditions are their average speed, and poorer acceleration and cornering, as well as a functional water cannon that serves as a passive weapon which pushes (human) targets back using a gush of water.

GTA 1 features two variants of the Fire Truck, with one appearing in [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] and [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]], and the other exclusive to [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]]; their exact sources of inspiration are unknown, but are generally depicted in the style of typical American fire trucks. The Fire Truck featured in GTA London, however, assumes a more European design, likely to be based on a chassis of a British lorry; the vehicle's design is also adapted into the [[ICBM]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London 1969]].

In GTA 2, the Fire Truck is designed in a classical [[wp:American LaFrance|American LaFrance]]-like appearance, in line with the game's retro-futuristic styling. The game's Fire Truck is also introduced with a functional [[Weapons in GTA 2|water cannon]] that serves as a passive weapon which pushes (human) targets back using a gush of water. A Fire Truck with a mounted [[Weapons in GTA 2|flamethrower]] may also be unlocked by completing the [[Wang Cars]] side quest. Like in earlier games, the Fire Truck is too large to be [[Crusher|crushed]].
