Lets play fire truck chicken

[Erin]

That is just so wrong.

[protege]

Not as wrong as this black truck from Dora, AL! But, at least two local departments have light blue fire engines--East Carnegie, and Unity

[AriRashkae]

Pardon the pun, but I actually think that's hot.

[Flying Grype]

That black truck is badass.

We have red trucks and so did my hometown. Oddly enough the fire chief's van is a sort of maroon colour.

I have seen chartreuse trucks but I can't remember if it was in the US or Canada.

[Erin]

Ok, the black one is cool.

Also, fun little fact: in America, you pull over to the right lane. In Canada, apparently, you pull over to the left lane. We learned this the hard way in Vancouver once, as we played Dances with Ambulances trying to figure out why we were the only ones pulling over to the right...

NOOOO at least in Ontario and Quebec, you NEVER pull over on the left. I got in HUGE trouble for doing that once as a new driver. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pull over on the right unless you KNOW it to be acceptable to do otherwise.

[Zellie Crescent]

I'm glad somebody got it.

Our city's engines are whitish-silver with red accents.

But I agree. Fire trucks should be red.

Nah they should be Camo pink, that way then even the blind will see them, or at least feel the malevolent presence of the pink camo.

Of course they should. Red ones go faster, after all.

^-.-^

Sadly, Waagh! only works for Orks.

I just looked it up....in my state, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle is a $100 fine, but "willful obstruction" of an emergency vehicle is a criminal offense punishable by 3 months in jail.

Syracuse has some yellow trucks, and our cop cars used to be blue.

Good thing I watched that National Geographic special on firetrucks.
