Nationwide, most departments use the term 'Engine' to describe their pumpers. The term 'Wagon' is a reference to Hose Wagon, which was used in the early days of firefighting. This was often a cart pulled by horses to fires. Today, some departments use the term 'Wagon' as a reference to the old hose wagons. Wagon 2 and Engine 2 carry the same amount of hose and water and are configured to closely match each other.
