        I wonder how many siren modes it has…

      I’ve actually ridden in a fire truck, it would be awesome to ride in an electric one, probably so quiet and smooth rather than the loud rattling ICE ones.

        Munich, Germany tried it and seems to like it.

        I’ve driven a firetruck when my company was doing repair work on it.

        I wonder if this electric one is as easy to start (no key required on old firetrucks)
