According to my source on company 2  there was some debate yes was put up for company members vote They approved Hence the All black Rescue I would of like to of seen a black over red as so they could sent the Engine out for a black top half paint job  but this choice is nice something quite different for our area

Terrible idea. Even with reflective tape will be difficult to see at night.
