The Yellow Collective on Base

Base

Spotted: /yellow 1970s/80s Ford 8000 Custom Cab Fire Engine. Technically an C800 but diesel engines were given the extra "0", thus C8000. 

Fun fact: yellow and lime green fire trucks are sometimes used because its believed to be more visible in low light conditions.  In fact, in the US, a fire truck can be ANY color as long as it has a reflective strip that wraps around the entire truck.

Red has been traditional for over a century - in the 70s Govt departments did studies on which color is the safest.  Red is best during the day, where as yellow or lime green is better during the dark.  Since one color is better than the other depending on daylight. the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) came out a standard and mandated that every fire engine had a reflective white stripe around the entire truck.  Over the years they have loosened that to just be any reflective strip that wraps around entire truck which made the color of the actual truck not as important. 

For instance Chapel Hill Fire Dept in North Carolina has baby blue trucks
