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

I've seen several while deployed that were OD Green and/or Sand colored. I even saw a couple that were up-armored to survive an IED attack.

My favorite color scheme on a rig is colbalt blue on white. The fire department where I grew up uses that color scheme and it is a thing of beauty!

We have two fire engines that are yellow with pink polka-dots and a couple of tankers that are yellow with black racing strips down the middle of them.
ha ha! I am just kidding. I was just wondering how many peoples jaws would hit the ground when they read that. ha had! No, I haven't seen every truck in our department because we have about 8 or 9 districts, but from what I have seen so far all of our trucks are red with white stripes, along with most of the departments in the towns in our parish. I have seen one white engine in one of the volunteer departments here, but most are red.
