This technical specification document is for Type 3 Lettering and Striping for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), prepared by the State of California General Services Department. The specification establishes minimum requirements for lettering and striping on Type 3 Wildland Fire Apparatus, detailing precise graphic design, placement, and material standards for vehicle exterior markings. The document provides comprehensive visual guidelines through 16 detailed figures showing exact placement of vehicle numbers, agency logos, striping, and reflective tape on various parts of the fire apparatus, including sides, doors, bumpers, roof, and rear panels.
The specification requires contractors to install graphics using 3M brand 680 series Scotchlite plus (or equivalent) reflective tape and CAL FIRE-provided exterior door shields. Specific requirements include a 6-inch white reflective side stripe, CAL FIRE cab door logo, "CAL FIRE" decals, 30-inch-tall black vinyl adhesive-backed agency identification numbers on the cab roof, and a 4-inch red reflective stripe along the interior of all compartment doors. The document references compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standards 1900, 1901, and 1906, with final details to be discussed at a pre-construction conference.
