The computer goes way back to ancient Chinese times when a basic abacus was used to make some fairly advanced calculations. IE a computer.
Advanced pluming and water systems were in use by the Roman Empire.
As for the Fire Truck, that dates back to early Roman times as well.
If you are looking for some 20th century honyock to make such a claim, so solly, will never hoppen.

The modern computer is based on the punch card system of the Jacquard Loom.
The Roman Empire perfected plumbing based on concepts of the flow of water learned by the Greeks.
PLUMBING is derived from the Latin word PLUMBUS, which is a cement-like waterproof material used for sealing pipework--it does not mean 'lead', although lead was used in the pipes themselves. The Latin for lead is PUBLIUM, because lead was considered the common folk of metals, giving us the chemical initials Pb.
You got me on the firetruck--some of the other answers appear to be on target. B.
