  12. We have the 5.11 pullover vests with the side velcro straps. when I'm at the station tomorow I will get the model #. I dont know if maybe I'm misreading the law, but the copy of 23 CFR Part 634 that I read says nothing about an exemption for fire suppresion. The law reads: 634.3 Rule. All workers within the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway who are exposed either to traffic (vehicles using the highway for purposes of travel) or to construction equipment within the work area shall wear high-visibility safety apparel. Does anyone have any information pertaining to the firefighting exemption? If you have any documentation or where to find it written down that woule be great. Thanks
  13. 23 CFR Part 634 - Worker Visibility Full text of law here: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/apr.../23cfr634.1.pdf Is anyone aware of this law? Have any departments outfitted thier personel with the required ANSI approved equiptment? I'm just looking for input/insight on this. At my company we have a ANSI class 3 vest for every riding position on the apparatus.
  14. The bell, the same bell that was on the 1981 mack, and the 50's era mack before that, is out for re-chroming.
  15. Currently E92 goes on west side EMS calls and R37 on east side EMS calls. This is done for manpower for lifting, not as a BLS first response. The apparatus will not roll without making sure that the ambulance is covered, as we run a FD based ambulance not a VAC. As for the 1981 Mack MC, after all the equiptment is removed it will be sent to the highway garage, and the village will be putting it up for auction.
