What is the weight of a fire engine?

There's no single answer to the weight of a fire engine! It varies greatly depending on:

* Type of fire engine: There are different types of fire engines, like pumpers, ladder trucks, and rescue engines, each with different equipment and sizes.

* Manufacturer: Different manufacturers have different designs and construction methods.

* Features: The specific equipment on board, like hoses, ladders, and tools, all add weight.

* Engine size: Larger engines weigh more.

* Water tank capacity: The size of the water tank significantly affects the weight.

Generally, fire engines can weigh anywhere from 15,000 to 50,000 pounds (6,804 to 22,680 kg).

To get a precise weight for a specific fire engine, you would need to consult the manufacturer's specifications or the fire department that owns it.
