By Charles Mahtesian governing Magazine for the past two decades Detroit fire fighters have chafed under what they considered to be less than Ideal working conditions. But it  not the Long hours dangerous work or relatively Low pay that ticked them off. It  the fire depart ment s Lime yellow fire engines that made them see red. So when longtime mayor Coleman Young stepped Down one of the first things executive fire commissioner Harold Watkins and fire department chief Archie Warde did  to ask the new mayor for permission to return to red engines and apparatus. To their Relief mayor Dennis Archer agreed. From now on every time a new or re conditioned firetruck hits the Street in Detroit it will be red or More specifically hawaiian red. In making that change Detroit joins a number of other cities that Are returning to the traditional color of Choice for fire equipment. Red fire engines May be the enduring Symbol of the american fire service but in practice scores of fire departments across the country began moving away from red about 20 years ago. Back then a spate of studies surfaced that cited red As a Factor in the Prepon Derance of fire vehicle accidents. As a color critics reported red  poorly vis Ible and not easily identified by the human Eye at night. As a result civilian motorists were unable to detect oncoming emergency vehicles. Lime yellow a More distinctive and visible color  considered the Best alternative. Although Detroit and a number of other cities including Dallas and Boston switched to Lime yellow or Lime Green tones other cities adopted Bright less noxious colors such As White. Baltimore went for a Shade known As Omaha Orange. There Are some real weird firetrucks out there said Dave Gitchell of . Darley & co., a fire equipment manufacturer since 1935. But that does not mean firefighters liked the idea of a new color. Some cities including Chicago new York and los Angeles refused to change from  in Boston the firefighters Union eventually persuaded the mayor to change Back to red. More recently Dallas Detroit an Baltimore Are among those to revert mostly for sentimental reasons. Actually not All firefighters Are elated Over the return of the red firetruck. It s an argument of emotion rather than fact said Owego n.y., optometrist Stephen Solomon a Volunteer firefighter for 36 years and a Pioneer in the move to Lime yellow. It red is a terrible visibility color.". Distributed by scrupps Howard new service
