I know New Zealand started with blue striping on their new trucks, but this one is all blue? Any purpose behind this?
The only blue trucks I have seen in Holland are from the Bavaria Beer brewery.

Hi Frank,
Our current Chief Officer has ordered all non-operational support vehicles to be painted in the `corporate colours` of the brigade which happen to blue and amber. We have a number of vehicles which are painted blue, two Small Fires Units, a Incident Management Unit, a Rehab Unit and a Community Assistance Unit. I shall post pictures of them eventually. Thankfully, the `real` fire trucks are staying red.

Hi Andy, thanks for explaining this. Over here the water-rescue units are frontline so they are red.

Cheers,
Frank
