A Ford Excursion fire command vehicle used by the New York City Fire Department

A fire command vehicle , also called a fire chief car , battalion chief vehicle , or fly car , is a vehicle used by a senior officer of a fire department to respond to firefighting incidents. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Its markings typically indicate the rank of the senior officer. [6]

In the 19th century, fire chief vehicles were horse-drawn, and known as a chief's buggy . [7] [8] With the advent and rise of the automobile, most fire departments retired their chief's buggies for automobiles with proper markings. [9] [10] [11]
