It's an exact comparison...

Its nothing of the sort, as a Uk national I have no idea whatsoever on what you’re on about.

If I heard a pilot say “roll the trucks” whilst not Uk CAP413 compliant, I’m pretty sure any ATCO/ATCA or airfield operations person would come to the conclusion that vehicles needed to be moved. And logic would dictate that’s probably a call for RFFS, because generically fire response vehicles are known as “fire trucks”.
