The sound of the siren and flashing of the lights on a fire truck has captivated not only young children but adults as well. Toy manufacturers have made toy fire trucks for children that have become one of their most beloved play toys. The Hess Oil Company made the Hess Fire Trucks, which were released to the public during the 1970 – 1971 holiday seasons. For many little boys and girls, Hess toy trucks were a yearly treat from Santa.
