  4. Truck outfitted by: Specialty Warning Systems http://www.specialtywarningsystems.com The Georgetown CT Fire Department has taken delivery of a 2007 Isuzu box truck, designed as a support services unit, which replaces a Chevrolet delivery van that was donated to the department in the early 90s. As a mobile "warehouse", it's primary function is to transport support, rehab and supplemental equipment to fire, weather related, Haz Mat, MCI and long term operation scenes. The LED warning system incorporates a Whelen Freedom lightbar, two 600 Supers in the front, two M4s and two 900 series Supers on each side, eight LIN6s on the rear and an eight head linear Traffic Advisor above the rear doors.

  5. Specialty Warning Systems has completed and delivered it's sixth Paramedic response vehicle for Westchester EMS, based in Mount Kisco New York. Incorporating Whelen and Sound Off Signal components, the warning system includes an FX Freedom lightbar, split red / white 400 Super LEDs on each front outer corner and on the front of the Go Rhino pushbumper. To provide additional intersection warning, two red / white TIR6s, are installed at opposing angles, inside the pushbumper. Red / blue Sound Off Predator IIs were mounted in the rear side cargo windows, two more red / white TIR6s placed on either side of the rear license plate while an eight head Dominator mounted on the rear roof, above the cargo door. As the primary lightbar, and the rear Dominator are both blocked when the cargo door is in the raised position, two rear facing four head Dominators are included inside the cargo compartment, activated by the rear door, that provide supplemental warning to vehicles approaching from the rear. A headlight flasher and Whelen 295HFS4 with secondary (dual) siren amplifier and two 100 watt siren speakers complete the overall system. A remote controlled Go Light spotlight is installed in front of the lightbar for assistance in low light conditions. The 30 inch Havis console contains the Whelen lighting / siren control head, department radios, dual 12V power outlets, internal cup holder, armrest and nine inch storage box. The color LCD display for the Safety Vision rearview camera system, was also installed on the console on a custom bracket, activating in conjunction with a backup alarm and two (of four) halogen floodlights mounted under the rear bumper. Collectively, this provides a safer means by which the driver can operate the vehicle when backing up. The custom rear cabinet provides storage for ALS and BLS response equipment, turnout gear, hand tools, safety supplies and vehicle equipment. Four LED utility lights are installed in the rear cargo compartment, that work in co-operation with the remaining two halogen floodlights under the rear of the vehicle, to provide sufficient nighttime lighting for equipment retrieval and rear vehicle safety during low light operations. Extending into the second row seating position, two compartments are provided for additional scene management supplies, personal gear and safety equipment. A Pro Gard cargo barrier (custom fit to the cabinet) is installed between the cargo compartment and second row seating position to contain equipment stored in the cargo compartment in the event of a collision. Additional components include a Kussmaul battery conditioner with Auto Eject shoreline connection, a 110V duplex outlet inside the truck, 800 amp jump system and Go Rhino pushbumper with full headlight wraps. The exterior graphics are fully reflective, mirroring the layout of other fleet vehicles, now incorporating a blue and yellow safety chevron covering the entire rear of the vehicle. Specialty Warning Systems has enjoyed a very co-operative and proactive working relationship with Westchester EMS for many years, 4010 being the sixth Medic unit we've completed for them. We appreciate their confidence in us to provide their intercept vehicles and look forward to the future and working with them on additional vehicles. http://www.specialty...ingsystems.com/
  6. Thought somebody may pick up the differences in radios. As WEMS radios had not been installed by the time conversion was complete, we utilized radios we had in house for photo purposes only. We're just very particular about our photos and don't like open console positions. Presents a poor aesthetic appearance.
  7. 4010 is a duplicate of 4011........May be a major addition to the next vehicle however! Not sure of where 4010 will be stationed.
  8. The Lake Mohegan (NY) Fire District recently took delivery of a new 2009 Ford Expedition, designated 2263, replacing its predecessor, a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. The warning system incorporates Whelen LED components including a Freedom SX lightbar, eight head Dominator in the front grille, 500 series LIN6s on the outer front corners and rear cargo door, roof mounted Traffic advisor and headlight flasher. Four Federal HideAway LEDs were also installed in the rear brake and reverse light housings. System control is by way of a Whelen CenCom system with a single 100 watt compact siren speaker. A remote control Go Light spotlight was installed on top of the lightbar to provide additional scene lighting, hazard identification and assistance in general low light conditions. A 30 inch Havis console contains the Whelen CenCom control head, department radios, dual 12V power outlets, internal cup holder, armrest and six inch storage box. In the rear cargo compartment, a platform was installed to provide a solid mounting base for a set of irons, two extinguishers and hand tools.

The exterior graphics package incorporates red and white reflective striping and lettering in addition to a safety chevron that covers the entire rear cargo door and bumper Specialty Warning Systems extends it's thanks and appreciation to the Mohegan Fire District for their confidence in us to provide their newest response vehicle and looks forward to working with them on additional projects in the future. www.specialtywarningsystems.com (For clarification, the radios shown in the console photo are not the actual radios in use by the Lake Mohegan FD. As the communications equipment was to be installed following conversion, spare radio heads were included temporarily for photo aesthetics only)
  9. Specialty Warning Systems recently completed a 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Chief's vehicle for the Long Hill Fire Department, in Trumbull CT. Designated LH-2, it's the second Chief's vehicle provided to the Long Hill FD by Specialty Warning Systems in the past year. Whelen LED components make up the warning system, including a Freedom FX lightbar, two red / white 700 Super LEDs behind the front grille, a six head Dominator in the rear cargo window, four LAW HideAway LEDs in the taillights, split red / blue 400 Super LEDs on the front outer bumper corners, red TIR3s in the rear side cargo windows and solid state headlight flasher.

A Panasonic CF29 Toughbook laptop is mounted on a Havis side mount and platform system. As EMS and first responder equipment are stored in the cargo compartment, a Pro Gard cargo barrier was installed to provide containment in the event of a collision. Several changes in the exterior graphics were also added to improve vehicle safety and reflect recent changes in the overall layout. We would like to thank the Long Hill FD for their confidence in Specialty Warning Systems to provide their most recent Chief's vehicle. We look forward to working with them on other projects in the future.

  11. Specialty Warning Systems recently delivered a 2009 Crown Victoria slicktop patrol vehicle, to the Redding CT Police Department. The audible & visual warning system is all Whelen with a three head Inner Edge in the upper front window, 400 Super LEDs in the CPI speaker housing, four TIR3s (all mounted on the Setina pushbumper) and HideAway LEDs in the front corner light housings. Two dual Dominators, two dual Talons and a dual rear deck Talon are all installed in the rear window with two additional HideAway LEDs in the reverse light housings. Red/blue Super LED Mirror Beams were installed, set on steady burn and are used as cruise lights. The center console is a Havis Stout Mount with heavy duty locking swing arm which mounts a tilt / swivel adapter and the Panasonic CF30 Toughbook laptop, with dual cup holders and flip up armrest. The console contains the Whelen A6 controller, both department radios and power outlets. The prisoner partition is a single prisoner model by Setina, with window armor installed on each rear passenger door. The new graphics layout, which incorporates a rear bumper safety chevron, is to be utilized on all subsequent patrol vehicles. Specialty Warning Systems has enjoyed a long working relationship with the Redding Police Department, providing all their upfitting, service and vehicle conversions and look forward to many cooperative years of working with the Redding PD. http://www.specialtywarningsystems.com/
  12. The partition is a single prisoner model that segregates the prisoner to the passenger side only. Keeps him (or her) away from behind the driver while minimizing the amount of space available to become "active" potentially causing damage to doors, window frame, rear window etc.
  13. The North Salem New York Police Department recently accepted delivery of a new 2009 Crown Victoria patrol vehicle. As with many of the vehicles being converted today, this new NSPD patrol Crown Vic utilizes an entirely LED based warning system. While we expect strobes to maintain a presence in the warning market for some time to come, the benefits of an LED system and the improvements that have taken place in the recent past in LED technology, point clearly to their obvious dominance in the warning industry. 7K360 incorporates a fully loaded Freedom lightbar, two 700 series grille mounted Supers, Mirror Beams and HideAway LED corner lights in the front of the vehicle. A lower rear deck Inner Edge and HideAway LEDs in the brake & reverse light housings provide additional warning to the rear. System control and siren function are by way of a Whelen 295SLSA6 with a single 100 watt speaker behind the grille. The center console is a Havis Angled Series that contains the A6 controller, department radio, scanner, power outlets and OEM AM/FM radio which required relocation to the console to accommodate the Data911 computer display mounted in the dash. The computer also includes a hand held bar code scanner and thermal printer contained within the flip up armrest. The prisoner partition is a Setina while the all reflective graphics package matches the rest of the NSPD fleet vehicles. We would like to extend our appreciation to the North Salem PD for their continual confidence in us to provide all conversions, service and repairs for their entire fleet. We're confident we can meet their requirements, working together, for many years to come and look forward to future projects with them. Watch for our videos on YouTube........new ones are posted as they're completed http://www.specialtywarningsystems.com/
  14. The Bethel (CT) Police Department recently took delivery of a 2009 Ford Expedition, assigned to the on duty patrol Sergeants, with incident management as an important integral goal in the overall configuration of the vehicle. The audible & visual warning system is all Whelen with a Liberty SX lightbar, 700 Super LEDs behind the grille, rear HideAway LEDs, headlight flasher and CenCom system controller. The center console is a Havis Stout Mount with heavy duty locking swing arm which mounts a tilt / swivel adapter and the Panasonic CF30 Toughbook laptop, with dual cup holders and flip up armrest. A custom Command and storage cabinet in the rear cargo compartment incorporates a full width incident command board, storage for scene control and investigative supplies, EMS equipment and hand tools. What makes this cabinet unique is a second docking station on a slide out tray, identical to the front mounted unit, for the CF30 laptop. With individual antennas, power supplies and boosters, two computers can be in operation simultaneously, (one in the front and one in the rear) performing different operations, allowing for greater flexibility and capability during major incidents, weather related events or town wide disasters. Specialty Warning Systems would like to thank the Bethel PD for their continued confidence in us and the opportunity to provide their ongoing service and conversions. http://www.specialtywarningsystems.com/
  15. Bethel (CT) Police Department 2009 Crown Victorias Specialty Warning Systems recently delivered two new Crown Victoria patrol vehicles to the Bethel CT Police Department The 100% LED warning system is comprised of a Whelen SX Liberty lightbar (with lighted center sign), headlight flasher, four Vertex HideAways in the reverse lights and taillights, two in the front corner lights a 100 watt siren speaker and CenCom Gold system controller. The center console is a Havis Stout Mount / Trak Mount system, with a locking swing arm, docking station and tilt swivel adapter for the Panasonic Toughbooks computer. It also contains a dual cup holder, 12V power outlets, flip up armrest, the Whelen CenCom control head and department Motorola radio. As computers are installed in every vehicle, an AOI airbag option switch is included to, selectively disable the passenger front airbag to protect the occupants in the event of an airbag deployment. Prisoner containment is achieved with a Setina full width partition, Pro Gard ABS transport seat and Pro Gard floorpan. A Havis sliding trunk tray contains the CenCom ARM, radio chassis', repeater and related electronics. A fully reflective exterior graphics package completes the outside of the vehicle(s). Specialty Warning Systems extends its appreciation to the administration and patrol staff of the Bethel PD for their ongoing confidence in us to meet their installation, service and repair needs. These new vehicles represent significant and exciting changes in the overall layout of their patrol fleet that are a result of a proactive and collaborative effort between the patrol staff, the administrative officers and Specialty Warning Systems. We look forward to upcoming additional projects and a continued positive working relationship with the Bethel Police Department.
  16. The Independent Fire Company located in Mount Kisco (Westchester County) New York, accepted their new Chief's vehicle on July 9th. Designated 2283, the new truck of "The Swarm" is a maroon 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe. As the IFC was seeking a slightly more discreet outward appearance, a subtler configuration was employed while still providing the degree of visual warning a primary response vehicle requires. To achieve this, a Whelen Inner Edge, ten lamp LED interior lightbar was installed in the upper front windshield with two six head Dominators installed in the front grille. A Super LED Mirror Beam kit was installed on both side view mirrors while red/white LIN4s were mounted on the side running boards and inside the rear side cargo windows. Two red/amber 400 Super LEDs installed on the rear cargo door, four LAW hideaways in the taillights and an eight head Dominator in the upper cargo window, provide rear facing warning. A somewhat unique feature of the warning system is the utilization of the Whelen HHS2200 remote system that combines all visual warning, siren and P.A. controls into a single hand held unit. It's use provides significant space savings in the center console while affording individualized control of the warning system to meet the IFC's specs. Two dual reflector halogen flood assemblies are installed under the rear bumper with one pair of reflectors working in conjunction with the OEM reverse lights and the other pair configured with LED utility lights that were mounted in the cargo compartment to provide area lighting for nighttime operations. As the Independent Fire Company desired to maintain the OEM center console, a Havis vehicle specific replacement console was incorporated which contains the department low band radio, County trunk radio, 12V power outlets and cup holders. A custom bracket was fabricated for installation of the hand held system controller that allows for easy access and stable control while still maintaining "portability" should the need arise. The custom storage cabinet incorporates space for SCBA, hand tools, turnout gear, EMS equipment, scene management and Incident Command supplies. The front face of the cabinet provides for the consolidation of the electronics related to the warning and communications systems. A gold leaf and reflective graphics package with hand painted artwork, finish the exterior, with the department's bee displayed proudly on the rear cargo door, symbolizing their history as "The Swarm". Specialty Warning Systems extends it's appreciation to the Independent Fire Company in Mount Kisco, for their confidence in us to provide their latest Chief's vehicle and enjoyed the challenges this somewhat unique vehicle presented. We hope to work with them in the future on further projects. Please check on YouTube regularly as we update our videos (on this and other vehicles by Specialty Warning Systems) often. (in the search box, just type "Specialty Warning" for a full list of our available videos)
  17. The Brewster Fire Department, in Putnam County New York, has just taken delivery of their new "11-1-3" Chief's response vehicle. The 2009 Tahoe is the third Chief's vehicle provided to the BFD by Specialty Warning Systems. With the exception of two white strobes in the upper grille, the warning system is 100% Whelen LED based, incorporating a Freedom lightbar, two 700 Super LEDs in the lower grille, 400 LEDs on each outer corner, TIR3s on the rear cargo door and LAW HideAways in the rear taillights. An eight head Dominator Traffic Advisor is installed in the upper rear cargo window while two additional TIR3s are located inside the cargo compartment, facing rearward to provide supplemental lighting to the back, when the cargo door is raised. LED utility lighting is installed on the face of the cargo door and inside the rear compartment to provide work area lighting during night operations. A CenCom Gold controls all vehicle warning, siren and Traffic Advisor functions. The custom Command Cabinet provides storage space for portable extinguishers, IC supplies, EMS gear and communications equipment. Hand tools are secured on an inside wall with Pac Mount tool holders and a walkaway bracket contains an SCBA. Turnout gear is stored in an open space in front of the SCBA. Also contained within the cabinet is a full width command board, with a clear overlay, for scene management. The front face of the cabinet is utilized for the installation of the radio chassis', fuse panels and the majority of the vehicle's electronics. The center console is a 24 inch Havis which contains the department radios, CenCom control head, 12V power outlets, cup holders, armrest and six inch storage box. A Ledco docking station for a Panasonic tablet computer and Havis side mounted keyboard platform complete the console. Due to the installation of the laptop an AOI airbag option switch was also installed to allow for manual control of the passenger front airbag. A gold leaf and reflective graphics package mirrors the other two Brewster FD Chief's response vehicles and finishes the outside of the truck. Specialty Warning Systems would like to extend their thanks to the Brewster FD for their continued support and confidence in us to provide their Chief's vehicles and look forward to an ongoing working relationship in the years to come.
  18. I'm working on the still photos now and should hopefully have them up in the next day or so.........The video will be another couple of days after that....We're kind of particular about our finished photos and videos (like our vehicles).....the still photos aren't too bad but the video takes me a bit longer (especially as I'm still learning how best to put them together)........Will get it onto YouTube as soon as I can. SWS1
  19. I believe it was solely a matter of pride in their department.

We wish to thank the Long Hill Fire Department for their confidence in Specialty Warning Systems to provide their new Chief's vehicle. We look forward to working with them again in the near future on additional projects.
  21. United States Federal Aviation Administration 2007 Ford Expedition Specialty Warning Systems recently completed a 2007 Ford Expedition Safety & Emergency Response Vehicle, for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Based in New York, it's primary responsibility is first response to all aircraft or airport related emergencies throughout multiple states. The audible and visual warning system is 100% Whelen and is primarily LED based, incorporating a front Inner Edge interior lightbar, one six head Dominator in the front grille, another six head Dominator in the rear cargo window, headlight flasher and four HideAway LEDs in the rear taillights. An ALPHA12R remote siren and single 100 watt siren speaker complete the system. All lighting and siren control is by way of a simple three switch panel. Specialty Warning Systems wishes to thank the FAA and is looking forward to working on additional projects with them in the future.
  22. The Wilton (CT) Police Department, has recently taken delivery of their 2009 Dodge Charger assigned to their Traffic Enforcement Division. While fully functional as a daily patrol vehicle, it's principal purpose is enforcement of motor vehicle laws, safety and public education. The primary requirement was a discreet vehicle but highly visible when needed for vehicle stops, emergency response and officer safety. To meet this requirement Specialty Warning Systems incorporated an all Whelen LED package including front & rear Inner Edge interior lightbars, red and blue front windshield Inner Beams and two 4 inch round TIR6 LEDs in the lower fog light positions. Dual TIR3 LEDs in each rear side window provide side lighting while red and blue LIN4s mounted on either side of the license plate and two white HideAway LEDs in the backup light housings supplement the rear facing lighting. The OEM headlight and taillight flashers were also utilized in the overall system. A Havis-Shields Stout Mount console contains the Panasonic CF19 laptop, department radio, Whelen SLSA6 system controller, dual power outlets, cup holder and flip up style armrest. Rear electronics are installed on a side mounted Havis-Shields fold up tray to retain as much of the available trunk space as possible. Early feedback we've received from members of the unit indicate the car has more than surpassed the goals they were striving for. We at Specialty Warning Systems, would like to thank the Wilton Police Department for the opportunity to provide this unique vehicle and look forward to a long and proactive working relationship. See this Charger on YouTube
  23. As always, we appreciate all the feedback we receive from everyone that takes the time to view our posts. Just a quick reply to Oswegowind.......As one of the requirements was as discreet a final install as possible, we opted for the Inner Beams (as opposed to the Mirror Beams) to keep one less component off the exterior, that may be spotted by a potential "client". They afford the same basic angled intersection warning as you mentioned, without the lighthead visibility of the Mirror Beam. The side mounted TIR3s do afford some side warning but the PD understands they are in no way nearly as effective as a full patrol configuration and don't anticipate using the new car in a similar manner to the typical (marked) patrol vehicle.......it's tough sometimes trying to find a balance between the specific vehicle requirements, overall capability and overall safety for the vehicle, operator and the public........ Thanks again for all the input.....good or bad, we want to hear it
