Until several months ago, I to thought that all fire trucks should be RED, RED and WHITE, OR some various colors of RED.
I have been misinformed for many years. I have learned that FIRETRUCKS, can vary in color just as much as a womens hair. Some like blondes, some like burnettes, it is all a matter of opion, and we all no the saying behind that.

I have attached a few photos that cover a broad range of colors, including a beautiful GREEN firetruck from Virigina.

enjoy, and remember, all girls need loving, no matter what color the hair............

I think the 1 above is pretty cool.
I was told by 1 guy that "There is a study that shows more red Fire apparatus have been involved in accidents than any other color"
I said " no kidding, probably because there are 10X as many red fire engines as any other color" Duh
I heard a study about people going to the hospital too.
People who walked into the ER themselves were more likely to come home alive than those brought in by an Ambulance.
Gee Imagine that.
Statistics can tell you anything you want them to.
I like Red, But If your Department has a different tradition thats cool too.
Ask a 4 year old what color is a fire engine. 9 times out of 10 I think they'll say RED
Keep having fun out there,
