San Francisco Fire Engine Tours

San Francisco Fire Engine Tours depart from The Cannery, 650 Beach St. at Columbus Ave. at Fisherman's Wharf. Instead of a bus or van, passengers board a large red Mack fire truck for this 90-minute sightseeing trip, which approaches the Golden Gate Bridge via the Presidio, crosses the bridge to the outskirts of Sausalito and includes a photo stop at Fort Baker before going to the Marin Headlands, then crossing the bridge again and returning to Fisherman's Wharf via Union Street. You can even don real fire gear to help ward off the chill on the windswept bridge. Specialty tours also are offered; phone for details.

Guided tours are available. Time: Allow 1 hour, 30 minutes minimum.
