Fire engines have changed over the years. For many years firefighters sat on the sides of the fire engines, or even stood on the rear of the vehicles, exposed to the elements. While this arrangement enhanced response time, it proved to be both uncomfortable and dangerous (some firefighters were thrown to their deaths when their fire engines made sharp turns on the road), and today nearly all fire engines have fully enclosed seatings for their crews. Have mini toy fire trucks on the tables for the kids to play with while they wait to be served food. A Fire Engine party is fun for both the boys and girls with a theme of red and a spotted dog.

Enjoy this Fire Engine free themed party game...  WHAT'S FIRE ENGINE IS BEHIND THE BACK: Two players take part in this game. Each player is a particular Fire Engine Company. The two engine companies are rivals. Pin well-defined pictures and paper circles with the numbers (such as 96, 105 etc.) on the backs of the players. The numbers represent the fire station number. The players are in the circle. (The circle may be drawn with the chalk on the floor.) They stand on one foot. Their task is to catch sight of the picture and number on the rival's back, jumping on one foot. The player who is the first in "deciphering" the rival is the winner.  Have fun along with the guests at the Fire Engine party!
