Ok, its a good cause.
Ok, it gets kids looking at fire trucks (I guess this is a problem?!! is red too plain for them?)
Our core mission is emergency response. Yeah we do prevention, but the core reason we buy fire trucks is to keep people safe. And firefighters....
Urban camouflauge! where the truck has too much going on that it is confusing to the eye. Plenty of research that says solid colours is best. Put a firefighter in front of that and some old fart wont be able to pick him out.
We need the public to see the trucks ASAP. The lights attract but the big red truck sends the message "fire" and "let us through"....I am sure every tourist in Aspen will instantly know its a fire truck and not a play structure.
And we wonder why our kids have ADD, and I am just talking about rookies here.
I am getting grumpy in my old age.
Well I agree with ya, GREAT cause and I'm all for it, but really BAD idea to wrap emergency vehicles. Did they need to wrap all the frontline apparatus? I think one frontline rig and then several auxiliary units from these departments certainly could have sufficed. Heaven forbid someone gets hurt in an accident, civilian or MOS, I can only imagine the litigation, the lawyers would have a field day. Maybe they'll choose active military vehicles next year and we can wrap tanks and Humvees in combat.
