The route will go past stores, restaurants, homes, and Allison-Henderson Park. All of the firefighters can drive the fire truck, the ambulance, and the command car. Before they can drive the equipment they need a chauffeur's license and some practice with the large vehicles.
Fire trucks are the ones that carry the large ladders on top.
Fire engines do not have these ladders. When someone calls 911, the call goes to the Dispatch Center so that the correct fire station can be alerted. The Dispatch Center sounds an alarm that tells the firefighters where the fire is and who is expected to respond to the call. Men and women prepare in the same ways to become firefighters and are responsible for all of the same jobs when they start working at a fire station. People who want to be firefighters must be able to hold hoses, climb ladders, lift a lot of weight, drag heavy fire hoses, and operate manual and powered equipment.
