Fire Truck (LEGO 10473)

About this set

This is LEGO DUPLO set 10473, a fire truck build with 28 pieces and a difficulty of about 2/5, aimed at the youngest builders. The finished model is a red fire truck with an extending ladder, a firefighter figure, a water gun and flame accessories, plus a tree and a squirrel for scene play. The color mix covers red, yellow, blue, green, gray, brown and orange. Build the chassis and cab first, pressing the big red, yellow and blue bricks firmly together, then attach the ladder and water gun; save the tree and squirrel for last so kids can set up the scene. The trickiest part is lining up the sliding ladder sections—young hands may need help to clutch them properly so the track doesn't sit crooked. Best for DUPLO-age toddlers building and role-playing alongside an adult.
