Fire trucks are used in emergency situations. Many times that a fire truck is brought out in answer to a call, someone's life is in danger. That would be a terrible time for the firefighters' equipment to fail. Therefore, it is important that inspections, repairs and replacements are done while there are no emergencies.
Yes, you can. Not from the fire department but from the vehicle manufacture. There is no proprietary equipment on a fire truck. But you may need a special license to drive it.
fuel tank capacity depends only on what make and size the truck is. the trucks only have fire and emergency equipment added to a truck that is bought from the manufacturer
That depends on what make/model they get and the equipment to go on it.

Yes fire truck is red.
weight of a fire truck depends on the size and cinfiguration of the truck brushpumpers(flat bed 4x4) will obviously not weigh same as a tanker we have a tanker/ engine that can pump 400 gallons a minute, and carries 3000 gallons of water this truck loaded weighs about 56000 pounds we have an engine that carries 1200 gallons of water and rescue equipment this truck only weighs about 28000 pounds a brushpumper with 300 gallons would weigh about 8000 pounds a rescue squad depends on size of truck and equipment carried on it a ladder truck is a different weight again hope this helps a little there are all types and sizes of fire trucks

It is important because fire equipment that has not been rated for electrical fire use may conduct electricity and electro-fry the user, whereas equipment such as electrically rated fire extinguishers (class C) will not conduct electricity, therefore keeping the operator safe. If you want more information on fire extinguishers such as different types and which instance to use them I have provided a link with this post.
It depends which fire truck but I know that the numbers generally go on the door and the "FIRE" stickers go on the back. but it depends on which fire truck you have

Yes, a special license is required to drive a fire truck in New York State. Firefighters must obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with a specific endorsement for operating emergency vehicles. Additionally, drivers must complete training and meet the qualifications set by their respective fire departments. It's important for operators to be familiar with the vehicle's size and equipment, as well as emergency response protocols.
