I think it's a modern addition to the CFD tradition back in the 1920's Fire Commissioner Goodrich's family also owned a steamship line. He was well aware of the required red and green lights on ships identifying their port & starboard sides, allowing for safe passing during inclement weather. The red and green lights were installed on fire apparatus and stations based upon this nautical theme.

According to http://www.chicagofd...ryofthecfd.html

Some fire departments use the green light to indicate that a ff/emt is riding on the vehicle.... not sure on chicagos reason though..... but green usually means emt on board

nothing anywhere about this...only what the previous poster had posted.

A unique feature on the apparatus of the CFD is the green emergency light that is typically found on the right front of the apparatus, in addition to the red light on the left front. This tradition dates back to the 1930s when Fire Commissioner Goodrich, whose family operated Goodrich Transit Company, adopted the port and starboard maritime light scheme for all apparatus and firehouses.
Another tradition associated with the CFD is the black over red color scheme of the fire apparatus. The choice of this paint design is attributed to an order of Ford Model A cars purchased in the late twenties, to be used as Battalion Chief "Buggies". The factory rain canopies on the cars came coated in tar, which would not allow paint to stick. CFD personnel liked the black over red look and adopted it for all of their apparatus.

Camhesse1,

No you didn't say anything wrong, I just misread you original comment...let's just call it a misunderstanding.
