Fire Attack was released in 2000 for the Bulls. A Bull's knight pushes this fire cart. Various accessories are included. Kabaya released this set in Japan with the number 1288.
Not too bad for a mini-set. Comes with the oval shield, a short sword, spear, and a good helmet. Simple set; direct and to the point. 7/10.
I am curious though, as to just how these fire carts were supposed to work. Do you wheel them up to the gate, and then stand there while they burn the gate down, and all manner of things are dropped on your head by the defenders? Or do you wheel your little cart around in a battle, hoping to scorch some unfortunate soldier who was too slow to move out of the way?

Yeah, I got it because I am a collector (even got the Kabaya version). Otherwise it's pointless. I see the cheap source for Bulls figs if you are into Bulls, though. But those ubiquitous flames really bother me.

This is just the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put. Winston Churchill
This is an awful set! I mean, what is it really? We have a Bull Knight pushing what looks like a popcorn cart merged with a flame thrower (that's probably being too generous). The pieces aren't bad, but the set design is non-existant.
Yup, poor design. I only got it because I was trying to get all the Bull sets. Not exactly a shining example of Lego design. I think it is actually for burning out weeds in the Bull's garden. We have a similar device on our farm, except you wear it on your back.
I'd have liked to have gotten several of them (preferably on clearance) for the figure. I want to create a good sized army of bulls. Other than that, its... ehhh.
