Tonka Toys have long been synonymous with rugged construction vehicles, though their vintage pressed steel toys are far more durable than todays plastic counterparts.
That said, Tonka have a couple of fire engine toys well worth considering. The smaller Tonka Light & Sound Fire Truck, though not motorized, does emit four different sounds, has a flashing light, opening cab doors and two ladders, one fixed and one extendable.
The much larger Tonka Fire Truck also has a range of buttons to press to activate different lights and sound effects but also has a motorized ladder operated by two levers on the side of this superb multi-featured toy fire engine.
Tonka fire engines may lack the detailed realism of Bruder toys, but this is compensated for by their all around good fun and playability.
