A unique feature on the apparatus of the CFD is the green emergency light that is typically found on the right front of the apparatus, in addition to the red light on the left front. This tradition dates back to the 1930's when a fire commissioner, formerly in the Navy, adopted the port and starboard naval light scheme for all apparatus.
Amazing this tradition still holds, very very nice!!
Thanks for the advice but I will kindly neglet that and will continue to do so whenever I think it adds value. Whoever said that quoting wikipedia is not allowed, or I should shy away from quoting out of it.
@fopneus dont listen to that guy, who cares if you posted some facts from wikipedia, obviously alot of people found it interesting and didnt care and who is he to tell you what to do?
