Its interesting to see the reaction to these rigs.
On another forum I'm on, the nearly-unanimous reaction has been exactly like ffdrive's.
At the risk of also being the safety crumudgeon on the board, I unfortuntely have to agree with him. I completely understand and applaud the efforts of the department, the children, and the foundation that's behind this, but I just can't imagine trying to overtake an intersection with something in this camoflauge pattern and have the public quickly identify what I'm in.
That being said, from an apparatus buff's perspective, I think they're unique, and I'd shoot them in a minute if they weren't several thousand miles away. Thanks for capturing each one of the rigs, Eric!
