Siren,
You don't need my permission to bypass an old discussion, but some folks seem to feel the need to beat new folks for having a discussion which has "already been beat to death."
Of course I feel the need to tell all those who complain about old topics being discussed "yet again" that they don't have to jump on our fellow members whose member numbers happen to be higher than 10,000...

in my town all the officers and fire marshells wear white , the regular member that are interior certified wear yellow, ever one else wears black meaning jrs, and extterior members, we are looking to change the company officers but i disagree, for a lomhg as i rember a officer wore white and it was like a perk to be a officer, only problem is now that we have new ast. chiefs we get like 21 white lids at a fire if everyone shows up .

Our department uses 4 colors. White= Chief, Asst. Chief, Captains Red= Lieutenant/Safety Officer Black= Firefighters & Yellow= Probationary.
We recently went to this over the 5 colors that we were using. We determined that we would group our 2 Chiefs and our 2 Captains together to make our officers easier to locate on scenes. And believe it or not, it has definately helped, espicially when you have 3-4 departments together working one incident..
Good Luck!

We wear tan gear by Mourning Pride(looks like FDNY just tan) and our rookies wear old school long coats and their gear is black. We wear the 1044's and the rookies wear a metro style helmet also.
