The Beekman New York Fire District recently took delivery of their new Chief's vehicle, a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe.

The LED lighting system includes an FX Freedom lightbar, side Mirror Beams, grille mounted 700 Super LEDs, LAW HideAways in the taillights and linear Traffic Advisor installed above the rear cargo doors. Two Strip Lite LEDs installed on the interior face of the cargo door, provide additional rear facing warning when the cargo door is raised. Four Strip Lite LED compartment lights were also added inside the cargo area for general work lighting at night. A 295SLSA6 lighting / siren controller and Sound Off headlight flasher complete the system.

The center console is a 24 inch Havis which includes the department radio, Whelen SLSA6, Traffic Advisor control, power outlets, armrest and storage box. The exterior grahics (including the bumper chevron) are fully reflective.

A custom Command and Storage cabinet was built for the cargo compartment which includes apace for turnout gear, SCBA, command drawer with whiteboard and storage drawer for scene and command supplies.

The new Tahoe is the second vehicle Specialty Warning Systems has provided to the Beekman Fire District, the first being their Fire Police Van completed in November of 2008. We, at Specialty Warning, extend our thanks to the Beekman FD for their continued confidence in us to provide their new vehicles and look forward to working with them on future projects.
