ORANGE Knoxville Fire Trucks

[DocVol]

A lil birdie who is close to Knoxville's Fire Chief told me that today in a meeting that they were discussing replacing the Engine and Ladder trucks that are at the station on campus (Station 9 on Highland Ave I believe--as they are due to be replaced soon), with ORANGE trucks instead of the traditional red. Said that they wanted to "represent the area that they served and show pride for the University and the Volunteers."

This would only be for the campus station. He said everyone liked the idea, but no timeframe was put on it.

That's awesome!

 

[VolFromNashville]

I like that idea a lot. Let's just hope we don't need to use them...

[Slydell]

Orange and White would be sweet.

 

[DocVol]

Orange and White would be sweet.

That is outstanding.

Needs a nice graphic in the big area of white on the side, tho.

I like it...but it's tough when our players don't even do that.

That's a neat idea.

Bright Orange is a lot more noticeable than that fire engine red, safety wise it could be argued as a step up.

 

[orangeblooded2]

Maybe we could talk'em into coloring the water a fluorescent orange..........

The truck should play rocky top as the Firemen give people CPR.

Hahaha, this really made me laugh.

I also have a feeling the local Police Dept. isn't looking to represent as much...

I hear they are going to start sporting orange helmets and mouth guards.

Power T would be good. This is a truck they're using in Clearwater Fl. Would make a nice Vol fire truck.

I hear it is mandatory for any off duty officer that enters Bar Knoxville!:rock:

 

[BamaFossil]

Bad idea. Everybody knows a fire truck oughta' be crimson...er... red and white.
:shades:

Im a firefighter in Knox county and ive also heard the rumors about a few stations getting orange engines and trucks. I personally like red ones just because its traditional but being the huge UT fan i am id love to see the engines and trucks that have campus in their first due go to orange..

 

[BigO]

How 'bout Eric Berry creating vortex rotation with that Moreno guy?

 

[YankeeVol]

I can dig Orange fire trucks....

 

[VOLstuckinKY2]

Maybe a checkerboard on the back like this...

 

[Special Ed]

If the police department adopts this idea, will the convicts then be forced to wear checkerboard jumpsuits?
