U.K. – Fire brigades spend £17,000 of taxpayers’ money on decorating engines in LGBT rainbow colours

Fire brigades have been told to ‘fight fires not culture wars’ after it was revealed they spent over £17,000 painting fire engines in rainbow colours.

The colourful paint jobs were approved by several fire and rescue service chiefs across England since 2017 in inclusivity and recruitment drives.

The rainbow flag has been used a symbol of LGBT pride since the late 1970s.

The highest spending fire brigade on rainbow painted fire engines was by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, who spent £4,320.
