Being a volunteer in the fire service for over 30 years, I can just say this..If you can protect the lives and property adjacent to the fire, surely you can protect your own equipment from burning as bad as the picture shows. I have been in some huge woods fires in my time, but I always made sure that the truck that took me to the fire could take me back to the station. PS ... The firefighters in New York on 9/11 had a good explanation for the fire trucks they lost.
