    Each of our trucks are white, but the rescue, which is fairly new, and the tower ladder that was recently refurbished have a red stripe on the side. In the future, we plan to add the stripe to our two engines.

    All the other departments in the city have red trucks.

      The dept in my town has a fleet of all red apparatus but like I've in past posts asking ths same question,it doesnt matter what color the apparatus is what matters is that tyou get to the sccene of the call quickly and safely and have the equipment to to what you were called out there to do.I wish someone would actually post something good I ave seen this poso about fifty different times and I have only been a member of the forums for about a month you should just post you answere under one of those.

        LOL...here we go again...

        White over red or black over red is my preference.

          My personal favorite is good 'ol red.

          I will, however, settle for red over red.

          Or, maybe a red box with a red cab.

          How about red over red over red?

            Fire trucks should be red.

              Surely everyone knows by now that red trucks go faster!

              All our appliances are red, however a neighbouring brigade (about 30km away for you Aussies) has a white HAZMAT...i personally think our red one is better...

              (and yes, it DOES go faster..)

                RED = FIRE APPARATUS
                YELLOW = SCHOOL BUS
                GREEN = ECTO COOLER A FAMOUS KID'S DRINK
                WHITE = SANITATION TRUCK WHERE I'M FROM
                BLACK = CAR YOU GET YOUR LAST RIDE IN. A HEARSE

                FIRE TRUCKS SHOULD BE RED ALWAYS!!

                  Youngstown's are all red, except the older ones that are either going to be replaced soon or were not refurbed lately have white cabs. I like both, as I grew up with the white-cabbed trucks, but the solid red ones are sharp.

                  And firefightermatt_69, have you made a single post on these boards without putting 3 angry faces afterwards? I have seen you do it at least 3 times and your whining is bugging me. If you don't like the topics that people post, post your own! At least you'll like them, even if people don't reply. I know this topic has been posted about 200 times, but everytime it's up, people respond, so apparently its not that bad...

                    All of our apparatus are yellow, however I still prefer Red.
