Why are firetrucks red? “One theory holds that fire trucks are red, because the earliest<br />
fire departments were made up of unpaid volunteers. These volunteers didn't have much money,<br />
and red was the cheapest color of paint to use, so they painted their fire trucks red.”<br />
(http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-are-fire-trucks-red/) Some other people believe that<br />
firetrucks were originally painted red because many cars back then were black or white so the<br />
bright red would stick out in a crowd. Ford cars were all made black in the 1920’s. Nowadays,<br />
there are many other colors that they make emergency vehicles with but the primary color used<br />
is red. No matter what color they make the trucks, we should appreciate what they do for us.
