HFD has had solid red apparatus in the past and went from all white to white over red in 1986 except for some refurbished pumpers (Texas Prison System) and two Pirsch Pumpers in 1984 that were all red. Houston was all red until the late sixties when the "white apparatus" became the standard and made the last white purchase in 1982.
Light duty vehicles such as Boosters starting in 1995 and District Chief vehicles that have been all red since 1985 except for the Ford Excursions (2003-2006) which were all white.
Paramedic Squads started in 2003 with Squad 27 and another large purchase in 2005 with all red apparatus, Ambulances started the change-over this past winter with Medic 9 and are being phased in when a unit is replaced or refurbished.
Cascade 23 & 15 are now all red made by SVI on Ford Super Duty chassis and now Spartan ERV has in production 5 pumpers and 3 103' ladders, I am unsure if graphics will change and we hear their is an add-on order coming of more pumpers, ladders, and a tower.
