No wonder DaRTS team member James looks worried, we've had a complaint! It costs too much money to keep sending out the massive fire trucks for small rescues. We need to design more Eco-friendly ones that are smaller and use less fuel. The first job the design team had to do was check fir all the things that they would need on their new fire trucks.
We remembered that we still need specialist clothing to stop the firefighters getting burnt, but they also need to remember stop, drop and roll if their clothes are on fire!
We looked carefully at all the equipment in the fire engine lockers and decided which ones we needed to have on our small fire trucks. We definitely needed hoses!
Bolt croppers may come in handy too ...
and fire hooks!
Come back soon to find out how we tested the ladders, cab size and hoses!
