Orlando, Fla — October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the Orlando Fire Department and Orlando Police will be promoting awareness by using pink vehicles to respond to calls.
Look for a bright pink fire engine and a rescue ambulance on the roads.
So appreciative of @OrlandoFireDept and @orlandohealth for their Breast Cancer Awareness efforts.
