What color are your warning lights?

Just wondering what does everyone use for a color for the warning lights.

Mostly red and white with one yellow on the back of our units. We are also looking in to the chevron on the back of them also.

Most People on my dept. use amber, red, and white. We can not use blue. I have a red/white strobe on my dash and red and white gril light four each. Plus wig wags. On the trucks mostly red and amber. By the way the eight gril lights cost less than 100 $.

jeremy
are you considered an authorized emergency vehicle? unless you are a chief or line officer your vehicle would be illegal in ny, but some people do get away with it

Apparatus have red and white on the front and red and amber on the rear. My POV has red and clear strobes in the four corners and red grill lights on a alternating flasher.

Red and White LEDs

We have red and white rotators on all but the new engine and red rotators on the backs. The new engine has the LED bar and 2 rotating amber lights in back. And the grass rig has a strobe bar on it. But we run blue lights on pov's. Indiana won't let us have red. My old department runs red and blue's. Farmlandfire.com
