We tend to be very traditional in color, and I like that. We are a rural dept., and so far have not had any issues with bystanders not seeing our trucks. I have heard that arguement about being able to see the lime green, white and yellow trucks better on scene. No matter what color the truck, you better be running emergency lights. And who cannot see those? On large mutual aid scenes, having a different color truck may identify you more though. My professional opinionis that the color is dept. preference and what works best for the dept..
well we have and engine
a brush truck
a pumper
a tanker
a gator

Our equipment is Black over Red. Even though Chicago has had it before we did we consider ourselves the east coast orginals, first black over red 1981. Alot of companies starting switching after we did.

A funny story. Alot of people thought we went to black over red because we're a mostly black fire company. But the real reason. We had bought a Dodge Caravan and several members wanted to show it to our sister company in PA. Not 3 miles from the fire house they turned it over and totalled it. When they went to by a new one the only one with red had a black top. Everyone liked it and when we got the next engine we had it painted B-O-R. Years later we sold an old engine to our sister company. It was B-O-R and they liked it but the chief took it upon hiomself to have it painted their colors of white over red. Half the membership quit in protest. Now all their equipment is B-O-R.

As for equipment we have 2 engines, a squrt, a rescue/pumper, an ambulance, field piece and the state hazmat unit. www.BVFD30.com
