Normal truck stuff should be (SHOULD BE) normal. Added electrics are often unfused and dangerous on fire trucks because firefighters often do their own wiring. As often as fire trucks burn and sometimes take the fire house with them, you'd think they would learn how to do wiring safely. ("There is no money in the budget for this new gizmo but the civic group has bought us one and Fire Fighter Fredy can install it free, he wired the doorbell at his house so he's good with electricity.")

Brand new fire trucks often have terrible wiring in them too. There are almost certainly large battery cables to a foot switch and the siren that are hot all the time, even if there is a "master" disconnect switch.
