Truck Colors
Ok I thought fire trucks were red! I knew some were yellow/green but, now I've seen a blue one. Are there any other colors out there that I still don't know about? The pictures that I've gotten so far are amazing and there is alot of arguements going on about which color is better. Any one want to figure out which one is more popular? LOL

Oh my goodness, I can see the fluorescent red being helpful in the safety issue. I am one that thinks fire trucks are red (the human kind) with gold leaf letters and a gold reflective stripe. In the age of everyone wanting to be different and say hey look at me, I guess no color in the rainbow is immune from messing up a good fire truck.

I have to agree with you that yellow rocks and red sucks. All of the apparatus that we have are yellow with white stripes or white with yellow strips. You can check them out @ http://www.evanscenterfire.com/Apparatus.htm Sorry about the old web site; we are having trouble with it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. We also have a new initial attack pumper that is also yellow with whit stripes.
