Interesting to note that no camera is really able to capture the
"pink" of the Fire Truck. The pink is highly fluorescent and
had eight coats of clear on top of it. This reflects light and
the camera's lens.
The reason for it to be pink, is that during a snow storm when white
out conditions exist, normal Fire Trucks cannot be seen. This
Fire Truck however "shines" through the snow and it is very visible.
