Police Envy? No, It’s Helena’s (AL) New Husky Blue Fire Engine

The City of Helena is always looking for ways to show its sense of community. So what better way for the fire department to get in on the act then to use the school colors – Husky Blue – in the paint scheme of the new fire engine.

Fire Chief Pete Valenti told the Shelby County Reporter that the idea for the paint scheme started with the mayor, who suggested a white paint job with husky blue striping. But the idea grew on him, and he suggested going all the way with the blue engine.

The engine was unveiled on Monday and goes into service soon in Station 1.
