South Salem Fire Department / 2010 Tahoe - Chief's truck

**SWS1** · April 30, 2007

A 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chief's response vehicle, was recently completed and delivered to the South Salem Fire Department, in Westchester County New York.

Designed for first response and scene command, Unit 2451 incorporates an all LED Whelen lighting system including a Liberty lightbar (with LED alleys and takedowns), 700 series and LINZ6 Super LEDs in the grille and M4 Super LEDs on each outer bumper corner. A mirror beam kit, taillight LAW HideAway LEDs and an eight head Dominator, installed in the rear cargo window, complete the system which is controlled by a 295SLSA6 controller. Two dual halogen floodlights were installed under the rear bumper which were then divided……one lamp in each head is configured with the OEM reverse lights to provide additional lighting when the vehicle is backing at night. The other lamp in each head works in conjunction with four LED compartment lights installed on the cargo door and inside the rear compartment, all providing general area lighting for nighttime operations.

The custom Command / Storage cabinet incorporates room for storage of SCBA and turnout gear, a command drawer with white marking board and clear overlay, hanging file drawer and open compartments for scene management supplies and small equipment. One compartment was also dedicated to communications equipment and electronic controls.

A Havis vehicle specific console took the place of the original center console insert, incorporating the Whelen controller, department communications equipment and 12V power outlets.

White reflective striping combined with gold leaf accents and lettering make up the exterior graphics package.

2451 is the third vehicle Specialty warning Systems has provided to the South Salem FD and we appreciate their ongoing confidence in us and enjoy working with them on the design and construction of their new vehicles. We look forward to working with the SSFD on future vehicle projects.
