Overall: nice little set, 4,5 / 5 points

Blocks: very useful parts, easy-to-replace, bright colour, just like the real-life truck

A great part of a LEGO town or an airport

Cons: no variety, only one vehicle cn be built (a flaming turbine is missing) should there +1 minifig

Back in the mid-2000s, my parents would go grocery shopping and bring home smaller lego sets like this; usually city vehicles. When opening this set, it becomes clear that this set is the epitome of mid-2000s city theme. Bulky design, newer mud guards and license plate/head light brackets, those dreadful stickers.

The build is pretty simple, but it has a nice boxy-thickness to it, that for a child, makes it really fun and easy to drive around, and there is a fair bit of storage inside; if not being taken up by the fire hose. The fire hose mechanism, while incredibly simplistic, is marvelous, in my opinion, for its simplicity. It folds up with relative ease, and then right back down to where it was.

All in all, I think this is a fantastic little set. If you, or your kid, has a town or an airport that needs a fire truck, this is absolutely the one that I would recommend!

So this was one of the first city sets from 2006 and it was pretty impressive for the time.Also the price was pretty reasonable being only 15 bucks.This was one of the early city fire men so It was less impressive then what you see 13 years later.My final conclusion is it is a pretty good ve

Its a great set and one of the best trucks available at the moment and i thought good value for money. Its got loads of great detail and the 6 wide size just seems to work really well in this set for an airport. as usual ggggrrrrhhh stickers! but other than that its top dog!

this is a great firetruck with tons of accesories. personaly i got mine on sale one boxing day. it actualy looks like real airport fire trucks for a couple of reasons.

1. the front slopes up which give it a realalistic feel.
2. the pump extends upwards and rotates
3.its wide!

great set
