From the center of the blaze a telephone was ringing. Someone calling to report a fire at the station.

Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2009 12:54 pmWhy on earth do the English refer to the fire station's mobile equipment as "appliances?"
It sounds like they are talking about stoves or refrigerators with wheels...
"Fire truck" seems to be much more descriptive...
...or in their case "fire lorry..."
