Fire-engine
A fire-engine racing to a blaze often touches worry under extraordinary pressure — alarm that may yet resolve toward good fortune. The dream may ask what emergency is mobilising you, whether the machinery rushing to help is sound or broken down, and how a crisis that feels overwhelming now might turn out better than you fear.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fire-engine, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a fire-engine, denotes worry under extraordinary circumstances, but which will result in good fortune. To see one broken down, foretells accident or serious loss For a young woman to ride on one, denotes she will engage in some unladylike and obnoxious affair.
