How fast is a Fire Truck?

Fire Trucks are big vehicles, carrying heavy equipment and a whole crew of strong, brave firefighters! Did you know that an average Fire Truck has 550 horse power?! That’s like 550 horses all lined up, attached to a truck, running at the same time – that’s a lot! A typical family car, like the one your parents drive or the one you ride in on your way to school has the power of about 140 horses. How would you add even more power to a Fire Truck if you were to build one? Would you add extra engines, or maybe bigger wheels? Comment below with your ideas!
