There are many paint/graphic schemes. In about 1972 the NFD switched from red to Lime/white. This lasted until late 1997 when the white/blue came along. (yes, all the lower lights were blue) At times rigs were re-painted so the odd colors and graphics. In 2006, when the new administration came into power, the decision was made to return to all red apparatus. Since that time all apparatus, new or re-paint are red. Other than Special Operations, all small vehicles remain white with red graphics. Because it takes so long to replace apparatus, it is a while before all apparatus are the same color/graphics! We don't worry about the color of the trucks, Its hard enough to make sure we have enough working vehicles in service each day! The only time a truck gets re-painted is when it is in an accident and insurance money will pay for it!
