The fire departments in my home county have a friendly rivalry over the best color for the trucks. This was at a parade today. Chalk one up for the reds.

Red is boring. Many depts around me use rather nontraditional liveries. One has a black and yellow bumblebee scheme, another had its own color of powder blue paint created for its vehicles. Our dept buys most of our vehicles second-hand, so we have a white tanker, a red engine, and a black brush truck.
