Not sure if you have this or not but here is the striping standard for fire trucks.
Something i am seeing is Reflexite vinyl being used. They will use the yellow reflective and then use red translucent over the yellow for the chevrons.
go ahead and copy/paste the info below for your use. Any questions i'll help the best i can.
Here is the NFPA 1901 Vehicle Standard. This is a partial list. The information provided below is for vehicle striping. As of now this is only for vehicles that are made after January 1st 2009.
14.1.6 Any door of the apparatus designed to allow persons
to enter or exit the apparatus shall have at least 96 in.2
(62,000 mm2) of retroreflective material affixed to the inside
of the door.
15.9.3.1* A retroreflective stripe(s) shall be affixed to at least
50 percent of the cab and body length on each side, excluding
the pump panel areas, and at least 25 percent of the width of
the front of the apparatus.
15.9.3.1.1 The stripe or combination of stripes shall be a
minimum of 4 in. (100 mm) in total width.
15.9.3.1.2 The 4 in. (100 mm) wide stripe or combination of
stripes shall be permitted to be interrupted by objects (i.e.,
receptacles, cracks between slats in roll up doors) provided
the full stripe is seen as conspicuous when approaching the
apparatus.
15.9.3.1.3 A graphic design shall be permitted to replace all
or part of the required striping material if the design or combination
thereof covers at least the same perimeter length(s)
required by 15.9.3.1.
15.9.3.2 At least 50 percent of the rear-facing vertical surfaces,
visible from the rear of the apparatus, excluding any
pump panel areas not covered by a door, shall be equipped
with retroreflective striping in a chevron pattern sloping
downward and away from the centerline of the vehicle at an
angle of 45 degrees.
15.9.3.2.1 Each stripe in the chevron shall be a single color

or fluorescent yellow-green.
15.9.3.2.2 Each stripe shall be 6 in. (150 mm) in width.

of 15.9.3.1 that are colors not listed inASTM D 4956,

of 10 with observation angle of 0.2 degrees and entrance angle of
−4 degrees.
15.9.3.3.2 Fluorescent yellow and fluorescent yellow-green
retroreflective materials used to meet the requirements of
15.9.3.2 shall conform to the minimum requirements specified
