The ladder variant of the Fire Truck is a general purpose firefighting apparatus in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Design[]
The truck features a smaller cab compared to the standard Fire Truck, a single light in the center of the front end, a fuel cap on the driver side, and a larger rear section with numerous compartment doors, rear platform, grab handles and a non-interactive mid-mount ladder on top. This variant lacks a water cannon or functional lights and sirens (only having four rotating lights/beacons similar to those of the Baggage Handler and Tug), and does not allow the player to trigger the fire-fighting side-mission. It spawns in a red primary and white secondary color, and has a livery but no identification number.
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
In terms of performance, the truck performs identically to its standard variant as it shares the same handling data with it.

Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- End of the Line – The ladder variant of the Fire Truck is prominently featured during the second half of the mission, during which it is bulletproof, fireproof, explosion-proof and even damage-proof (much like the Feltzer pursuing the Fire Truck); it also has heavy handling, but loses its special properties when the player fails to catch Sweet after he climbs onto its ladder and falls. In the mission, the fire truck is used by Frank Tenpenny. During the mission, the special ladder Fire Truck is locked, although it is possible to drive close enough to the vehicle and attempt to hijack it.
Locations[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- San Fierro Fire Station – Parked in the back of the fire station (sometimes the regular fire truck will spawn there instead).
- Can be found with full immune in the mission End of the Line.
Trivia[]
- The ladder variant of the fire truck can be repaired at any Pay 'n' Spray garage.
- Unlike the regular fire truck, the ladder variant does not sustain cosmetic damage except for its breakable headlights.
