Fullerton Fire Department’s pink-wrapped Engine 1 is positioned at the department’s training facility at 312 E. Commonwealth Ave. in Fullerton on Nov. 6, 2025. Firefighters rolled the engine out from inside the secure bay for the photo as part of the department’s Pinktober campaign to raise cancer awareness. This marks the first time Fullerton has put a pink wrap on an active emergency response vehicle; previous pink engines were non-operational units. Although Breast Cancer Awareness Month has ended, the engine will remain in service for another month or two for the community to see.
