Tuesday, November 17, 2009 Great Job on the Apparatus Striping with Safety being #1!

Recently put into service by the Trumbull Center FD, 2009 Crimson/Spartan Stainless Steel, Rear Mount Rescue/Pumper assigned as Rescue 100.  In addition to the reflective black and white stripes on the apparatus cab and body, the apparatus features chevrons striped with Retro-reflective material on the rear, upper sides and front bumper.  The chevrons were added to the side of the apparatus to counteract the fact that when all of the rollup doors are open on the truck, the reflective material installed on them becomes not visible.  Additionally of the rollout/slide out trays and toolboards have been provided red/white reflective on 3 sides.

Finally, the inside of all crew doors are provided with chevrons and also red/white LED's to the inside of each door that alternate when the door is open.(Something that all of our trucks have).

The apparatus will be first due to all highway and motor vehicle related calls.
