Fire and rescue

When every second counts. In life or death emergencies, the speed and accuracy of the response are the critical factors. Highly trained fire and rescue crews need trucks that will get them and their life-saving equipment where they need to be as quickly as possible, and then give them vital power and support at the scene. Here, you will find the fire engine trucks, features, and services you need – including specially designed cabs to put crews in control from the start.

The power to act

When lives are on the line, you have the highly trained crew and specialized equipment to come to the rescue. All you need is the truck that can carry the responsibility, a truck that will get you there – quickly, safely, and ready to work.

Keeping the crew safe and alert

As one of the most demanding and dangerous jobs around, the more support the crew and driver get, the more they can help others. You need a cab designed for fire and rescue crews as well as driver assistance to help them maneuver the truck quickly and safely.

Always ready to respond

It may be days or weeks since the last emergency call, but your truck still needs to be ready to go – just like the crew on standby. With high-quality, predictive, and planned maintenance and real-time monitoring, you can be more confident in your ability to respond.

Trucks that fit your demands

Your crews are trained and prepared for intense, demanding situations – and it’s often a matter of life or death. The better the fire and rescue truck, the more they can make the difference. 

You know what you need for the job. We offer a range of trucks, engine options, and power take-offs – as well as flexible chassis that can be tailored to any equipment.

Meet your new team member

You need the right truck for your operational responsibilities. Providing a range of load and crew-carrying capacities, axle configurations, and off-road capabilities, the Volvo FL, Volvo FE, Volvo FM, and Volvo FMX let you find the perfect fit.

Performance is key

With multiple engine options, automatic and automated manual transmissions with low and ultra-low crawler gears, and power take-offs to put life-saving equipment to work, you can rest assured that you’ll get the performance you need. What’s more, if you make the shift to electric, you can count on very good drivability and acceleration.

Tailor-made for the job

Thanks to their uniquely flexible chassis, our trucks provide a platform that is easy to build on. Whatever the application – from pumping appliances and ladders to towing vehicles and cranes – body builders can expect a chassis that is ready for your choice of superstructure.

More focus, control, and safety

When you respond to an emergency, the truck carries your crew into the heart of danger. They need to be alert to do their job as effectively as possible, but also to look after their own safety. At the same time, drivers need support in a fast-moving situation – whether driving at speed to the scene or managing the conditions once there.

Our cabs have been designed to create the best environment for operational fire-fighting and rescue crews. While maneuvering, steering, and warning systems give drivers more control when they need it.

World-class crew cabs

Designed with crews in mind – and compliant with international fire and rescue standards – we offer spacious, well-lit, and ergonomic cabs with a choice of seating options. All to ensure that crews arrive on the scene focused and ready to go.

In control of the situation

We know that situational awareness is critical in fire and rescue operations. That’s why a key feature of the cab design is excellent visibility. We provide driver and crew with generous window areas, slimline mirror design, and minimal blind spots.

Safe driving

I-Shift with crawler gears helps drivers maneuver steadily and precisely. Volvo Dynamic Steering takes the strain out of driving, enhances road handling and roll stability, and assists if there is a front tire puncture or the truck skids. Other features include Collision Warning with Emergency Brake and Front Short Range Assist.
