According to X635 City of Los Angeles Engine 51 is lime due to FAA regulations on the color of fire apparatus. Does anyone know the reason for this, or who is regulated and who is not?

This along with the fact that every piece of fire apparatus I have ever seen that is stationed at an airport was lime green, with the exception of Stewart Airport, whose last 4 new pieces were red. I thought that maybe the FAA had requirements that all ARFF apparatus had to be the same color, and designated lime green as that color.

The police in my village enforce it. They have multiple times, it is NYS V&T law. § 1217. Following emergency fire vehicles prohibited. The driver of any vehicle other than one on official business shall not follow any authorized emergency fire vehicle in the same lane or an adjacent lane to the one being used by such fire vehicle at a distance closer than two hundred feet while such fire vehicle is displaying one or more red or combination red and white lights, or one white light which must be a revolving, rotating, flashing, oscillating or constantly moving light, nor shall such driver drive into or park his or vehicle within the block or where there is no block, within one thousand feet of where such fire vehicle has stopped in answer to a fire alarm.

This article was dated 3/30/07, yet it say the town board will meet on 3/28. How does that make sense? Anyone know the out come? 5 bidders? Empire Alamo NDP Mobile Life? No. Westcheter?

Seth got a shot on his photo hunt on 12-11-06 http://www.x635photos.com/121106PhotoHunt.html

If its 47-89 its not only a utility vehicle, but a Paramedic Fly-car.

Ahh I see. How much cost difference between those and the E-450 Type III's?

First in Orange County in what way? Very nice rigs. Good luck with them.
