Documents featuring outlined depictions of emergency vehicles, specifically those used for fire suppression and rescue, intended for the application of color by hand or digitally, and readily available for download and reproduction are a common form of creative activity. These materials provide easily accessible templates for artistic expression.

Historically, the availability of such materials has increased dramatically with the proliferation of internet access and personal computing, offering a wider range of options than traditional coloring books.
