In 1998 Grampian Fire Service took delivery of their first white fire engines. This followed some research which showed that white vehicles were much more visible, and therefore safer, than red ones. Fire engines are actually delivered in base white and have to be re-painted red at additional cost. So not only are Aberdeen fire engines safer but they cost less too. Canny folk those Aberdonians.
