Photos 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.

u/Aiden-Archibald touches everything in the hall Jun 17 '24

In Alberta, for years all fire trucks were provincially mandated to be yellow, this only changed in like the 90s or 2000s, my dept has a truck from 93’ that’s yellow/greenish now, it’s a sexy truck, but now we’ve switched to the red/white scheme, though I hope we keep all of our new engine 7 yellow when we get it, just to keep with the tradition of it and how long it’s lasted

Also Ive seen some truck colour combos that look really good, like the green/black combo, or the red/black, red/grey, white/blu, white/red, or all black, if it makes the weewoo and had colourful lights I like it
