Most intelligent Fire Department: Putting red lights on a red car. Visibility: Zero.

@FireExplorerPC

At day, under bright sun that can't be seen. It's impossible. Not Perfect, but far better would be blue lights. Best would be yellow Cars with blue lights.

But in America, the fans of red on red live....

@FireExplorerPC Not as easily as blue lights. I wouldn't at all mind seeing fire trucks with a pair of blue lights in front and in back in addition to the typical red lights.

@FireExplorerPC can't imagine it is possible to see the red lights in night traffic that good, between all the red tail lights from cars. at least a mix of red and white would be good, even more visable would be blue and white

[FireExplorerPC]

@thepujajo Your a moron, the can be seen easily

[Tully3674]

They're doing something right. BHFD averages less then four minutes per response.

@04smallmj exactly: red and white emergency lights are not easy to see in traffic at night, even if they have an awesome flash pattern. blue lights aren't used on other vehicles so it is very easy to spot them in the traffic

@Denis91Rodman That´s true.

[Denis91Rodman]

@mOviestarthw12 Yeah but we have way better engines and sirens

@04smallmj I agree with you as in many other states (mine included) we operate red and blue which is a much more effective set up. However unfortunately in some states all red remains legally the only color fire/ems can operate. It is ridiculous however some states are slowly moving away from the antiquated all red policies that date back decades. Blue and red go quite well together.
