A mid-sized red wooden Fire Engine made by the Lego company.

Description

The fire truck is made of red-painted wood with blue and white painted detailing. Wheels have metal hubs and white ridged rubber tyres, and the Lego name is stencilled on the cab doors

The ladder is unpainted wood and has just a single section.

The lower half of the cab is contiguous with the main body of the vehicle: the top half of the cab (roof, rear wall, and two diagonal struts marking the sides of the windscreen and side-windows) is a separate piece of wood. The window-voids are "open".
