Rnds 2-12: Sc in each st around (56 sts). Fill with fiberfill firmly.
Rnd 13: In BLO, decrease across to close the top of the truck (or sew a flat panel of 8×20 sts over the opening). Sew shut securely.

Sew two wheels to each lower side of the truck body.
Ladder (White & Yellow Yarn):
With White: Ch 15, sl st in each ch back. Make two white strips.
With Yellow: Join the two white rails using short yellow horizontal stitches to represent rungs. Sew the finished ladder to the top-right side of the truck.
Finishing Details:
Front Windows: Using white yarn, embroider a rectangular block on the front face. Use black and blue thread to add eyes inside.
Embroider ‘FIRE’ on the front-sides and ‘FD’ on the rear-sides in white thread.
Add a yellow bumper at the bottom front and a yellow stripe on the side.
Attach a red crocheted loop (chain 20) to the top of the cabin and secure a metal keychain ring.
