In LAFD we use: White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Black, and Blue
-Chiefs (Fire, Battlion, Division, Assistant) = white
-Arson Investigators = Red
-Captains = Orange
-Firefighters, Firefighter Paramdeics & Rated Members (Engineers, A/O's etc...) = Yellow
-Rookies = Yellow with NO LAFD helemt shield
-Explorers = Black
-Single Function Paramedics (not firefighters) = Blue
Not fire department, but these guys show up at most of our large incidents:
