Disclaimers :
- I don't know sh... about firefighting <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
- I don't want to start a war on the forum <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I have to agree with Romania : fire trucks should be RED; Every little boy has dreamed to become a FF, if only because of the RED fire trucks
