Firefighter Fire Department Engineer Challenge Coin

Fire engineers are responsible for firefighting vehicles, such as fire engines, that transport firefighters, carry equipment and pump water at fire scenes. They make sure that the vehicle is clean and running efficiently, the gas tank contains enough fuel and all systems are working. They may perform maintenance tasks, such as replacing necessary fluids, but often leave major issues to repair staff. They also drive the vehicle, which typically carries a fire captain and medic. Safety is a primary concern as they drive vehicles under urgent circumstances through regular road traffic.
