To find the actual height of the fire truck based on a 1:25 scale model with a model height of 4.9 inches, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Actual Height} = \text{Model Height} \times \text{Scale Factor}
\]

Given that the scale factor is 25 (since it is a 1:25 scale), you can calculate the actual height:

\[
\text{Actual Height} = 4.9 \, \text{inches} \times 25
\]

\[
\text{Actual Height} = 122.5 \, \text{inches}
\]

To convert this to feet (since there are 12 inches in a foot):

\[
\text{Actual Height in feet} = \frac{122.5 \, \text{inches}}{12} \approx 10.21 \, \text{feet}
\]

So, the actual height of the fire truck is approximately **122.5 inches or about 10.21 feet**.
