Fire engine red, also known as fire truck red in North America, is an informal name for an intense, bright red commonly used on emergency vehicles in many countries on fire service vehicles, such as fire engines. The name does not refer to any particular shade of red; different fire services may have their own specifications.[1][2] Bright red has long been used on fire vehicles,[3] but not all of them.
