I believe it's just to be more undercover you can run errands or go outside your city and it draws less attention. Up into the early 1990's most chiefs had marked cars in the metro. I understand the reasoning. I love visiting the St. Louis metro because al or most chiefs are still marked. That's one thing I like gold chief on the fender with a light bar and lettering. After all we are the proud fire service. The public should know who the chief officers are. Just my opinion.



It's just like wearing a suit and power tie. Looks good if your running a fortune 500 company. Not so good if your a chief officer. Your a chief officer wear your badge. Be proud in city meetings we are better than the rest, after all we are Firemen. I really respect that my chief all though his car is unmarked he wears his badge everyday and is class A to most city counsel meetings. As my AC told the public works director once after he complained about something we did "looks like your guys check the wrong box on the application". Good times!!! Still the greatest career in the world.
