Uncommon

Fire Truck

What It Is

A fire department vehicle, either responding to a call with lights and sirens or parked at a station.

How Rare Is It on Road Trip Bingo?

Uncommon. You'll see far more parked at stations you pass than actually responding on the road.

Spotting Tip

Keep an eye on fire stations as you pass through towns — a parked truck out front counts just as well as one on a call.

Fun Fact

Fire trucks are traditionally red largely by convention. One commonly repeated explanation is that red paint was the cheapest option when many U.S. departments standardized their fleets in the early 1900s, though the full history is debated.
