No independent source addresses whether the speakers own three fire trucks. The only support is the podcast's own episode title and listing ('Joe & Rich Got ANOTHER Fire Truck'), which repeats the claim and is not corroboration.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… We saved the world. That would be insane. I expect the key to Buffalo in New York next time I come to town. You've got your name's Richard Hyde. Where you want to go? Oh, I don't know, but we're going there on the merge. Yeah, we are. We have three of them now. What? Good God, there's another the big white one is huge. Another murder mystery that often enough.

What we found

Context. The podcast's own episode title and Apple/Podbay listings say 'Joe & Rich Got ANOTHER Fire Truck'. These repeat the claim and are the claimant's own content, so they cannot corroborate it.[2][3]

Context. The unauthorized fire truck in Limerick, Maine and the Winchester firetruck standoff concern different vehicles and owners, so they do not address the speakers' ownership.[4][5]

Context. The congressional record about a fire department with three fire trucks refers to a different department and does not bear on the speakers.[1]

Context. Extraction check: the passage ('Yeah, we are. We have three of them now.') is ambiguous about what 'them' refers to, and the claim's wording 'three fire trucks' is a reasonable paraphrase of the podcast's context, so it is graded as the post's claim.
