Which of the following is NOT part of a fire apparatus?

Water tanks
Diesel motors
Aerial ladder apparatus
Fireproof suits

The correct answer is: Fireproof suits

Fireproof suits are essential for firefighters to wear for protective purposes but they are not considered a part of the fire apparatus itself. Fire apparatus typically refers to the vehicles and equipment used in firefighting operations, such as fire engines, aerial ladder trucks, and the machinery that powers them. Water tanks are integral to most fire apparatus as they hold water for firefighting efforts. Diesel motors are key components that provide power to the apparatus, while aerial ladder apparatus serves as specialized firefighting vehicles equipped with extendable ladders for reaching elevated areas. In contrast, fireproof suits are individualized gear worn by the firefighters, distinguishing them from the apparatus that is used to transport equipment and perform firefighting activities.
