The real cost of the American fire truck is in the roads it forces to be extra wide. It’s those trucks that make it necessary to have oversized neighborhood streets. Most countries don’t need that.
In Europe, you’ll see small, peaceful neighborhoods where people naturally drive slower on narrower roads. More greenspace. Less asphalt. They have small fire trucks that can navigate those streets just fine.
There’s really no reason they need to be so massive. It's a choice.
