Surprising History of Fire Engine Colors
While bright red is the most recognizable shade for fire engines, some modern departments paint their vehicles safety yellow-green. Research shows that human eyes detect yellow-green shades more easily in darkness or foggy weather than traditional red. However, red remains iconic because early fire departments wanted their vehicles to stand out among black automobiles.
