Why are Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units a lime green color instead of the traditional red?
Miami-Dade chose the lime green color so that units would stand out better in traffic. When a unit is responding to an emergency, it is important to arrive as soon as possible, and as we all know, maneuvering through the streets of Miami-Dade County can be hard enough. It is important that residents yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles so that they may pass. Remember, not to stop in the middle of the road, but to pull off to the side.
