I was at the FH today doing some lighting work and we got a call for gas in a residence. I rode with the chief in his truck. Here is 2 of the 4 trucks that responded before being released.
Red and Blue on fire trucks and ambulances is very common around here. My Chiefs truck has a TR21 all red LED lightbar I put on 3 weeks ago that Code 3 donated us. The window got hit by a rock about a week or so ago. It will be replaced in 2 weeks.
Red and blue on fire/ems vehicles looks odd to me as well, but seeing as how in another thread there is a DOT truck with red and white lights I guess fire/ems will have to go to blue in order to stand out.
