A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

We have cars for earth, boats for water and planes for air. Nothing for fire. Not that I want to ride on fire.

We do.

The vehicles used by bushfire (wildfires in Nth America) fighters are designed to drive through and survive fire.

Dang indeed. That is crazy. Kudos to those firefighters!

Any pics of the outside of these trucks?

ETA: I found some. I guess theyre called brush trucks. Pretty much a BIG truck with firefighting accessories. How do the tires not melt? https://unruhfire.com/brush-trucks/
