One of the small things that fucks with me about Portland is firetrucks run red + blue lights here.

In SE Pennsylvania red + blue was reserved for police, fire ran pure red

Blue alone meant you were a volunteer firefighter on your way to the firehouse, I think there weren’t laws around that but it was proper to yield

Yellow/amber or green rooftop lights just meant “I am doing shit in the roadway, look out”

Also in mid-90s our fire trucks switched from red to that lime yellow reflective
