The Fire Departments in the Pittsburgh area have some very unique apparatus colors. Purple Engine 2 in North Apollo was (or is) a 1984 Pierce Dash with 1000 gpm-pump and 750 gallon-tank. John Schmidt photo
Theres a reason for the strange colors in the kiski valley (westmoreland and armstrong border)
Before westmoreland and armstrong 911 these handful of companys were dispatched as color. IE brown engine, purple engine, blue engine, brown truck. ect
Most of the companys painted their trucks the colors that were assigned, (all except pink and black)
These are the ones that painted their trucks that color.
Red - Vandergrift 2
Brown - Vandergrift 1
Blue - North Vandergrift
Green - Parks Twp
Purple - North Apollo
Orange - Alleghney Twp
Yellow - Oklahoma
