Fire engine red is an intense, bright red commonly used on emergency vehicles, mostly on, as the name implies, fire engines. Red may be any of a number of similar colours at the lowest frequencies of light discernible by the human eye. ... An emergency vehicle is any vehicle that responds to an emergency. ... A fire apparatus, fire engine or fire truck usually refers to a vehicle designed to fight fires. ...
There is also an old joke that explains why Fire Engines are red:
Why are fire engines red?
Fire Engines have 8 wheels and 4 people, right? And 8 + 4 = 12, right? Now there are 12 inches in a ruler. Well, Queen Mary was a ruler.... But, she was also a boat. And boats float on the water... And fish swim in the water. Fish have fins, right? And the Fins were always fighting the Russians. And aren't Fire Engines always rushin'?
So it was standard practice for the base fireengine to roar through the gates, flagged on by the Air Police on duty, and lend aid to the local populace.
And so it was that Mike found himself driving a green fireengine back through the main gate, lights flashing and sirens wailing and the whole base cheering him on.
But I can't help wondering if that old fireengine is still at the airport in Manila, and what color she is these days.

Unfortunately it is strictly against the law for the fireengine limousine sirens and blue lights to be used on a public highway.
Unless specifically pre arranged the fireengine limo driver will make one pick up at the start of the journey and one drop off at the end, whilst customer safety is important to us, you should ensure that the final drop off point (if applicable) is suitable for all parties.
