bij brandweer in amerika betekend groen toch vrijwilligers?

Nee, in Chicago wordt het groen traditioneel gebruikt zoals de verlichting op schepen wordt gebruikt. Eén van de vroegere brandweer-commandanten met een nautische achtergrond heeft dat toen ingesteld, voor de brandweer-voertuigen.

Inderdaad

groen als deel van de eroepsbrandweerkleuren gevoerd (volgens Caprice in een oudere post uit traditie)

Groen betekent voor zover ik weet ook in de USA en de meeste gevallen, net als hier, commando-light. Ongetwijfeld zijn er enkele staten in de US die het als volunteer light gebruiken, maar die zijn mij niet bekend

Volunteer Personnel
Many U.S. states allow volunteer fire and EMS personnel to place emergency warning lights in their personal vehicles for use when responding to emergencies. The laws vary greatly by state. For instance, Virginia state law allows emergency personnel to equip one private vehicle "with no more than two flashing or steady-burning red or red and white combination warning lights".[58]
The degree of lighting is mandated by law and also by local custom in most areas, and can vary from a single rotating light on the dashboard or roof, to a setup much like modern police cruisers. Some states also allow volunteer use of sirens and air horns to request the right of way. Some over use lighting systems to a point of being nonsensical and confusing to drivers. These vehicles and operators are called the slang term "Whackers".

In some states, volunteers are allowed to use the normal red lights, while in other states volunteers must use some other color, usually blue or green. In the latter case, the lights are used as a courtesy to "request" the right of way and generally do not mandate pulling over. Some states, such as Pennsylvania, limit volunteer use of red lights to chiefs and captains of squads.
Separate colors may be used for fire versus EMS volunteers. In Connecticut, Indiana, and New York, volunteer firefighters use blue while volunteer EMTs use green. In New Jersey, volunteer fire and ambulance personnel use blue lights in their personal vehicles while responding to their stations. In NJ red lights are only allowed for emergency vehicles, fire chiefs or other law enforcement vehicles. New York also certifies some volunteer EMTs to use red lights and sirens provided their vehicles carry certain equipment;[59] this is often used by Hatzolah volunteers in the NYC area. Typically in New York state, volunteer firemen use blue lights in their personal vehicles and volunteer EMS use green lights. This may generate confusion, as green lights are also used to signify an incident command vehicle.
The conflicting color assignments can create issues for volunteers who drive their vehicles out of state. While some authorities may be satisfied with covering the lights with an "Out Of Service" tarp, compliance may be more difficult in other jurisdictions. For example, Arkansas bars civilian possession of blue lights on or in a vehicle unless sealed in the manufacturer's original package.[60]
The confusion generated by the different colors in each state can also cause problems for drivers who travel into others states. One color in their state may mean firefighter or EMT when in another state it may mean police, obviously causing problems.

Als je bijvoorbeeld op Youtube pov firefighter, dan krijg je ook verschillende voorbeelden.

Hier wordt gesproken over de courtesy lights en de wet erachter.

Ziet er 'gewoon' uit als het action-patroon, alleen is het niet de linkerhelften versus de rechterhelften, maar linksvoor/rechtsachter vs linksachter/rechtsvoor.

Daarom afwijkend
