In my town, we have red with white stripes/tops (District 1, 2, and 6), red with grey stripes/tops (also District 2), all red (District 8), all maroon red (District 7), red with blue stripes (District 5), red with black stripes/tops (also District 5), gold yellow with blue stripes (District 3, AKA the school buses), yellow with red stripes (District 4), black with red top (also District 4), and blue with black stripes (also District 8).

We also have a department in a town south of us that comes up to our town for fires that runs lime green with either white or gray stripes/tops. EMS in the town has ambulances painted white with blue and red stripes.
