Could this be put on the road?

I thought you needed a bed and head to licence as a motorhome? You could probably get enough in the back seat to get past that hurdle. You could also just license as a heavy duty truck. I doubt the fire truck aspect matters much. I'm no sure if they require decommissioning of lights/siren or if they are allowed to stay but you get in crap for using them. Similarly, I think you have to paint school busses a different colour than chrome yellow. Not sure if they would want you to make this truck not red or yellow to minimize confusion.

As a former hose dragger here... It would be plated as a heavy-duty truck (need a DZ to drive it in Ontario)
The sirens are typically removed; and the lights are either disabled, or the red lens swapped for amber.
Fire trucks, esp. pumpers, are run hard - and have lots of idle hours.... The drivelines also tend to be more complicated than 'regular' trucks, there's typically a transfer case added to the driveline, to run the pump and/or hydraulics.
