ORAL COMMUNICATIONS NEW FIRE ENGINE COLOR - (Continued) Mayor Grlset stated that it was his understanding that research had shown that the new yellow color was the color most easily seen, and therefore, was the most appropriate color for fire engines. He added that as new engines are purchased, they would be of the yellow color, and as engines needed repainting, they would be repainted yellow, but that existing fire engines not needing paint would remain red until they are painted, and that the cost of painting a fire engLue yellow was the same as painting one red.
