Fire engine research!


The team at DaRTS (Disaster and Rescue Transport Specialists) had a memo from the manager this week saying how some members of the public were very cross. They thought it wasn't very eco-friendly to keep sending the large fire engines to rescue cats from trees or put out shed fires or other small fires. The DaRTS team had a big decision to make - should they spend time designing small fire trucks, or should they keep creating the big ones that they were used to. After making some phone calls and finding out some facts, they decided it would be a good idea to do a bit more research about small fire trucks. 


We looked at small fire trucks from places like Japan and America to see what shapes they were and what equipment they had on them. 


It was a big decision, but the team decided that it would be much cheaper to send out  smaller fire trucks when big ones are not needed.


After all that research it was time to start designing our own small fire trucks.
