The term "fire engine" originates from the early use of manually operated pumps, known as "engines," that were used to pump water onto fires. As these devices evolved, the name stuck, even as they became motorized vehicles equipped with more advanced firefighting equipment. The name reflects both their original function and their continued role in firefighting operations.
