Celebrating 60 years of holiday tradition, the 2024 Hess Fire Truck with Car and Motorcycle is the most feature-rich edition yet, embodying the spirit of emergency response. This commemorative set is packed with animated lights, realistic sounds, powerful motors, and detailed chrome accents, making it a standout collectible and a thrilling toy.
This year’s classic red, cab-forward fire truck is strikingly designed with white side striping, gleaming chrome details, and a prominent emergency light bar. It’s equipped with searchlights and a towering, three-tier aerial ladder, ready to tackle any imaginary blaze, even a pretend Car On Fire scenario. The truck’s functionality is brought to life with four cab-top buttons, each activating a unique, realistic sound – from a powerful truck horn to European and traditional emergency sirens, and the rumble of an engine starting and idling. Each sound is synchronized with a distinct animated light pattern, enhancing the play experience. For added realism in any play scenario, including responding to a make-believe car on fire, a chassis underside switch controls 43 bright red, white, and blue emergency lights, offering both steady and flashing modes.
The impressive aerial extension ladder features a click-turn 360˚ rotation and 60˚ elevation, extending over 15 inches, perfect for reaching high places in any rescue mission, perhaps even to save someone from a building near a car on fire! Flanking the ladder are two super bright, multi-directional searchlights, each with click-turn 180˚ vertical and 270˚ horizontal rotation, ensuring maximum visibility in any simulated emergency situation. The truck also features two illuminated transport holds. The fire chief car is housed in a rear compartment accessed via a button-release lift gate and a pull-out ramp, which even triggers a motion-activated hydraulic sound effect. The motorcycle is easily accessible with a button press above the dual-purpose fold-down ramp doors on either side of the truck. As a special 60th Anniversary edition, the truck proudly displays a commemorative illuminated ‘60’ insignia embedded in the front grille and embossed on each side ramp door.
The accompanying red Fire Chief car is designed with ‘racing-style’ white striping, a rear spoiler, tinted windows, and chrome accessories. Chrome detailing includes the emergency light bar, front and rear bumpers, and wheel covers, adding to its sleek appearance. A switch on the car’s chassis underside activates 37 multicolor lights in the grille, bumper, emergency bar, and side running lights, all in steady mode. Equipped with a speedy pull-back motor, the Fire Chief car is always ready for rapid deployment to any emergency scene, quickly arriving to oversee situations, even those involving a car on fire.
Completing the trio, the red rescue-style motorcycle includes a rider in a safety suit with white piping and a chrome firefighting backpack. Activating the rider’s helmet turns on 4 head and taillights in steady-on mode. The ‘rev-and-release’ friction motor propels this high-speed bike forward, capable of performing flat runs or wheelies, making it a dynamic addition to any rescue scenario, swiftly navigating to the location of a car on fire.
