our dept has chrome yellow on all the fire engines. as far as what color they should be i guess it all depends on the depts taste. but i also think thata lighter color is easier to see at night, because there are times that we as fire depts respond to non emergency calls for service and we dont use our emergency lights. on the other hand it may not matter because people in our town dont pull over or see us even if we have our lights on our not.
Lt Lake, Not to open up a can of worms here but was that first picture a tender or a tanker? (LOL) and those color shots, very impressive, it would be cool if folks would simply forward a picture of their engines color scheme. One per department, what a cool slide show to watch.
come on michael the first photo was Masons Engine aka pumper
this is a tanker er I mean tender um wait are we at a structure fire or wild land fire? lol
