Rekkaauto

Rekkaauto is a Finnish term that translates to "fire truck" or "fire engine." It refers to a vehicle specifically designed and equipped for firefighting and rescue operations. These vehicles are a critical component of fire departments and emergency services worldwide.

The design and equipment of a rekkaauto can vary significantly depending on its intended use and the specific needs of the fire department it serves.
