    Default Re: how to display country flag on fire engine

    Hi, Chris,

    can someone tell me which flag goes on which side?

    The US flag goes on the right side, as you face the direction of travel. The general rule is that "the flag's own right" is the position of honor. This will be the left, of course, as seen by a viewer standing in front of the vehicle.
