Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Draw the Body

Step 4: Draw the Ladder and Hose
- Add a long rectangle on top of the truck for the ladder’s base.
- Inside the rectangle, add smaller rectangles or lines for the ladder’s rungs.
- Draw a small circle on the side of the truck for the water hose, and coil it up.
Step 5: Add Lights and Sirens
- Draw two small rectangles or squares on the cab’s roof for the emergency lights.
- Add an oval or dome-shaped siren on top of the truck’s roof.
Step 6: Detail the Fire Truck
- Add door handles and small panels for storage on the truck body.
- Include extra details like a fire department logo or numbers for added realism.
