That LGBTQ DEI “Chief” is also on record responding a woman who asked the chief if she thought she’d be able to be able to carry her husband out of a burning building in which the chief responded with…

“He got himself into that position, he should be able to get himself out….”

She should’ve been fired on the spot and had her credentials pulled for ethics violations.

I thought that's what the lights were for.

A shipping container size vehicle is not invisible, I see them all the time lights or no lights.

Why would you want to "notice" them all the time when there's no emergency.

Noticers gots to be noticing.

So they spend less not wrapping or painting it and they are assholes for also saving money?

Stop spending my money, spend more of my money!

Factory red with the same stickers is the same cost as Factory white with the same stickers

one looks like a fire chief car and the other looks like a personal vehicle so when you’re driving around, you don’t look like you’re driving the fire truck

Same money

But when they make 1 red for every 300 white in the cruiser configuration white makes sense. Also if they had red you’d find something else to complain about. I’ve seen a ton of white chief vehicles, and was actually involved

I can't believe that color was chosen over 'desert tan'
unless the enemy had first dibs on the desert tan color; then yea, I can see why

Desert pink is well-proven. In the Gulf War, the Tornados were painted pink... as were the SAS Defenders. Tan shows up in the desert... pink blends in beautifully.

Make fun of the 'pink Landy's' at your peril. One wag who made fun of Mobility Troop and their Pink Jeeps woke up super-glued to an APC...

Cheers,

Sirhr

PS. I owned an original Pink Panther in the late 1990's. I'll find a picture. It was a blast to drive!

Santa Ynez Reaovoir. 117 million gallon reservoir that provides the water to the Palisades. (Hence fire hydrants running dry and pumps not working) Drained in Nov, right before fire season. The woman that is in charge of managing the water and power for LA makes $750k a year…

Is she worth it?

Studies were conducted; and FD's wanted trucks with high visibility so they'll be noticed in emergencies.
While Firemen preferred RED, bright Lime Green actually won the 'human eye' notice test.

While I agree with the study, I'm still partial to old school RED

Be hard to miss lime green; though personally I’d support an executive order than only Porsche 911 GT3 RS(R) or old school “long hood” RSRs should be lime green or Mamba green.

Just a thought, regardless of how unrealistic: Every mansion in those canyons that gets rebuilt, should be required to have a barracks for homeless (at least 20),plus funding for Staff, paid by the multi-millionaires and lefty’s that voted the state and city of LA into Sanctuaryhood. Would result in less fires, and lots of feel-good vibe for the privileged.
