The whole point of unmarked police cars is you can't tell they're a police car until the lights come on.

Also, why wouldn't an unmarked fire truck be useful? It would still function as a fire truck, and the lights would identify it as such. This is a weird take.

Joking about how for a firetruck to be unrecognizable as a fire truck, you'd have to remove so much useful stuff from it/limit access to things from the outside so much as to render it ineffective, and also being kind of absurd by pretending that unmarked firetrucks are at all the subject of what they were talking about
