Not sure which country you're in. Here fire trucks do not come standard with a front winch. They have have additional hose connection point and storage on the front.

Here in Denmark, we have some firetruck has a winch in the front or in the bag. This is because they will be used for multiple tasks, it is usually in the smaller fire stations.

I built this simple winch to attach to the front of my crawler using set 9390.
