A Type 1 fire engine is designed primarily for urban firefighting and is equipped with a larger water tank, typically around 400 to 500 gallons, and a higher pump capacity, often 1,000 to 2,000 gallons per minute. In contrast, a Type 2 fire engine is used in both urban and rural settings, has a smaller water tank, usually around 500 gallons, and a lower pump capacity, generally between 500 to 1,500 gallons per minute. Type 1 engines also carry more firefighting personnel and equipment, making them suitable for structural fires, whereas Type 2 engines are more versatile for various terrains.
