🚨 When gas stations gave kids fire trucks instead of gift cards. This classic 1996 Hess Fire Truck is a nostalgic staple of 90s holiday mornings, finished in Hess's iconic green, cream, and red colorway. Built like a brick and packed with interactive features, this model includes working lights, sound effects, and a rotating roof-mounted water cannon for full play or display appeal. Whether you're a Hess collector, a 90s kid reliving Christmas mornings, or just someone who appreciates well-made promotional toys, this one checks all the boxes.
This example presents nicely with bright graphics, intact decals, and solid wheels. The underside shows the original switch panel for lights, siren, and horn functions, and the battery compartment is clean. A great display piece or addition to a growing Hess lineup.
