FDNY Helmet Shield Colors

[TurkII]

Does anyone have a list of "Official" Helmet Shield Colors? I know the basics...

Black = Engine
Red = Truck
Blue = Rescue
Yellow = Squad

Does FDNY and other companies that use this system designate colors for other company types such as bursh units, tankers, HAZ MAT, quint, etc?

Green!

If I remember correctly, Haz-Mat and Marine Companies use the color green. Any of the FDNY Lads wanna chime in?

sfdny15 pretty much nailed that one. The only thing I would add is line officers (Lt., Capt.) have white fronts with the station number the color of their designated company. (i.e., red, black, blue, etc.)
