Type 1 and Type 2 fire engines primarily differ in size, capacity, and intended use. Type 1 engines are larger and designed for urban environments, equipped with more water (typically around 500-750 gallons), a higher pumping capacity, and more extensive equipment for structural firefighting. Type 2 engines are smaller, often used in rural or wildland settings, carrying less water (about 400 gallons) and designed for quick, versatile responses, particularly where access might be more limited.
