  1. why are the rear light bars set up they way they are (rbarrbrr)? It drives my ocd crazy!
  2. Hazmat 1's second piece is now listed as delivered on ferraras website. http://www.ferrarafire.com/NewDeliveries/ND3_Rescues.html I noticed under the listed equipment which it carries it mentions airbags. What would a hazmat company use airbags for? Has HM1 always carried rescue equipment as well?
  3. would the whole crew take the attack piece for the call? What would happen if a fire call came in and they were forced to respond first due in the attack piece?
  4. syracuse went back to telesquirts? There last two engines were just that...engines.
  5. anyone have a shot of the rear of the new cars? What colors have they gone with in the rear of the lightbar?
  6. WOW that is a nice tiller! And with a CAFS system? Sweet!
  7. like ladder 49, dislike chicago fire...
  8. Wow! Lots of scene lights!
  9. It looks bigger than the old one. Also, are they getting a new second piece? I thought I heard something about it...possibly even on a custom chassis
  10. I had heard that they were supposed to get a new support piece as well to replace the kenworth...possibly even on a custom chassis.
  11. Looks good...is this a replacement for the tac units?
  12. Most modern rigs have the ability to have warning lights turn off when parking break is applied. Around where I am from (Columbus OH) all of the medics automatically have all but two warning lights on each side shut off, and the ones that remain on switch to a slower pattern. If larger pieces of apparatus could have this setup, the TA to the rear would always be more visible, and more easily understood.
  13. I agree...most areas dont use them at all and just leave them in the "random" flash pattern. Even when they are used properly, often there are too many other warning lights which blur out the directional light. I do think that they put a good source of amber light right at eye level for drivers, to differentiate from red warning lights which can be confused with brake lights. For this purpose, arrow sticks function well.
