LEGO 340-2 Fire Trucks is a 274 piece Building Set with People set released in 1978 exclusively in the United States. It includes parts to assemble multiple small fire vehicles along with six firefighter figures built in the Homemaker style, using large-scale heads and simple articulated bodies. The set follows the design approach of late 1970s Homemaker emergency-service assortments, emphasizing brick built characters and compact vehicle builds. A comparable version, 218-1 Firemen, was released in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Australia, sharing similar components and model concepts but distributed under a different regional numbering system. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $561 within the next year.
Fire Trucks (340-2) is a very old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Because of its scarcity, the current estimated value of in new condition of $520.13 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1978, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Fire Trucks at this time.

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This set offers a straightforward build with three distinct fire vehicles, each using the same front-end design but featuring different functions like a tow hook, a pump unit, and a rotating ladder. The included large-scale figures add variety with several face prints, and the set’s simple construction is supported by a single fold-out instruction sheet. Despite the limited color palette, the models assemble cleanly and highlight several unique elements, including helmets found in very few sets of the era.”
 

About Building Set with People

Building Set with People ran from 1974 to 1980 with a majority of the sets released around 1977 and was a subtheme of the Homemaker brand designed to appeal primarily to girls. Most of the sets contained Homemaker Figures, also known as Maxi-Figs or Maxifigures, and the sets were about building items such as vehicles and room settings like a hospital, school classroom, a beauty salon or nursery for the figures and centered on domestic and suburban life-based settings. Building Set with People sets are typically vintage LEGO and such are very hard to come by in new and sealed packages.
