	Fire engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Engines are normally staffed with at least three people - an officer, a driver who usually operates the pump, and a firefighter, and preferably with a second firefighter, to be able to effectively and safely attack a fire.
		The first fire engine in which steam was used was that of John Braithwaite in 1829; Ericsson made a similar one in New York in 1840.
		It was the target of sabotage by fire fighters and its use was discontinued, and motorized fire engines did not become commonplace until the early 20th Century.
