That depends on what make/model they get and the equipment to go on it.
Varies by type of truck, e.g., pumper, tender, tanker, hood-and-ladder, brush truck, etc.
Some smile engines like a brush truck may only have a few hundred gallons of water. Large tanker trucks may carry thousands of gallons of water to a fire.
about 40,000 lbs
That depends on the size and materials of the fire truck. Some firetrucks hold as much as 3000 gallons of water and can weigh 50,000 pounds or more.

we set the fire alarm off accidently in a building and the truck turnedup. How much do they charge to come?
A fire engine starts in much the same manner as any other motor vehicle. Probably more like a truck, but hey, it's a truck chassis with the pump, tank and whatever else built onto it. Why wouldn't it start like a truck? On the inside, at least, a fire engine is just a truck with the "fire stuff" added on.
ABout 5 to 7 dollars. Some local fire departments give them away free.
This will depend on the condition of the truck. Your best bet would be to have someone look at it for the most accurate pricing.
The actual dollar amount will vary by jurisdiction, but in relation to other vehicles, tailgating a fire truck will cost you much more. Emergency and police vehicles are given special protection in traffic.
Depends on the size and type. Some don't carry any at all, and must be fed from a hydrant or water tanker truck.
That depends entirely on the specs of the vehicles. I've run a dump truck with a 12.8 Cat C-13, 18 OD, and 3.90s which could probably toast most fire trucks on the top end. I've also run some which had much smaller engines and much taller rear ends and would probably get toasted by most anything in a fire department's inventory.
