"Fire Hazard Truck scores 76.5 and is Recommended: at $9.99 this small City set introduced a genuinely innovative steering mechanism and a new dual-molded helmet that critics and 1,493 owners (4.80 average) agree make it one of the better small-scale City purchases LEGO has produced at this price point."
Fire Hazard Truck earns a Recommended score of 76.5 on the strength of two standout innovations: a functional steering and suspension mechanism built into the turning axles, and a new dual-molded firefighter helmet that both expert reviewers highlighted as a genuinely high-quality new part. Brickset and JANG agreed this $9.99 City set over-delivers for its price point, and owner ratings confirm that verdict at 4.80 out of 5 across 1,493 reviews.

"The steering mechanism is certainly the most interesting aspect of 60279 Fire Hazard Truck, providing superb play opportunities without compromising the appearance of this model."
Brickset Reviews"I paid $10 US for this set. And the more good $10 sets I see like this one, the more I get convinced that $10 is the best price for LEGO sets, at least again, when the stuff ends up good."
