Why Is It So Difficult To Find Information About Toy Fire Trucks?

It's been so difficult to find information about toy fire trucks on the internet, so I've put together this lens with everything that I find.
I have to be honest with you though, there really isn't that much information out there. I've scoured the internet and raided my local library but below is what I have found.

Toy Fire Trucks

An Obsession

You're obsession with toy fire trucks started as a child, you're fascinated by the huge fire trucks that go screaming past your house, waking you in the middle of the night with their wailing sirens and flashing lights. The firefighters are your brave heroes, rushing to save life and property. Mum & Dad are pestered by your obsession with all things fire fighting. Any toys, action hero's apparatus make perfect birthday and Christmas presents. A school visit to the local fire station leaves you in awe and slightly overwhelmed with the huge trucks, the array of apparatus and the order with which the station is run.

The toy manufacturers are still producing a huge range of toys that are available in virtually every toy store across the country, and that's where it starts. We buy our child his first squidgy fire truck that he promptly puts in his mouth and slobbers all over, then progress to the 'Light & Sound' or 'Rumble & Roar' trucks that have them captivated for hours. And the fascination doesn't end there. With the huge array of toys available on the market you can still indulge in your passion for everything fire fighting.

Toy fire truck models are a popular choice and there are collector editions available both online and in model shops.

Party Games

For some games at your toy fire truck party you can get the children to build their own fire engine with large cardboard boxes (depending on age and group size). Just fold in the top and bottom so the child can step into the box and use string to hang the box over each shoulder. Paint the box bright red and use paper plates for wheels and the brown cardboard to make wooden ladders attached to the side.

Or split them into teams and see which team can put out a (pretend) fire the fastest by emptying a large bucket of water using only small beach pails to transport the water from the large bucket to the 'fire'. You'll want to make sure it's warm weather because you're sure to have water spilling everywhere.

Or how about a toy fire truck pinata!?
