Why are fire trucks usually red or greenish yellow? But then plenty aren’t?

Asked by 64 over 6 years ago

Depends on the departments choice of the color schemes. Studies have been made but nothing is required by law for a specific color of the apparatus.

What if I call 911 to report a fire, but I put it out before the FD gets here, will they still respond?
And, when I call in a explosion how many engines or trucks will respond ( although it depends on the department)

Asked by Ty almost 7 years ago

First off why would you be calling for an explosion, this does send red flags for me so I will not be answering that question. But as for the first one, we will still respond due to you may not have completely extinguished.
