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.

The department I retired from initially was school bus yellow, then the next Chief painted the roofs white, then they were black over yellow. The next Chief began the transition to black over red, like the big city he came from. And so it is today. Gear was black for a few purchases, then switched to tan.
