Fire Truck

Why is the Salamander used as a name for a fire truck in Fahrenheit 451?
I have a project and one of the things I have to do for it is to find out some myths on why they use a Salamander as a name for a fire truck in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I have searching the web for some myths but have had no luck, any help?
Thanks
“Numerous legends have developed around the salamander over the centuries, many related to fire. This connection likely originates from the tendency of many salamanders to dwell inside rotting logs. When placed into a fire, the salamander would attempt to escape from the log, lending to the belief that salamanders were created from flames – a belief that gave the creature its name.
Associations of the salamander with fire appear in the Talmud as well as in the writings of Conrad Lycosthenes, Benvenuto Cellini, Ray Bradbury, David Weber, Paracelsus and Leonardo da Vinci.”
