Why are fire trucks usually red or greenish yellow? But then plenty aren’t?

Depends on the departments choice of the color schemes. Studies have been made but nothing is required by law for a specific color of the apparatus.

Bushes on my friends property burned up during the night but the fire department never made any attempt to contact them is it possible they might send mail or something to to explain what happened. The fire department did put it out by the way

Asked by Steve over 6 years ago

If no one was there probably not unless the homeowner was filing a claim they would need to contact the dept. otherwise it was a simple brush type fire and minimal fire reporting would not be required.
