Fire Department POV Emergency lighting and siren update!! 

Not excessive at all. Take all the individual lights away that would be in a light bar and there will barely be anything left. I'm 360 covered. The 4 dash lights if you watch the video you will hear me say that the 2 in the center is for a year long test. Not permanent. Police cars in my area have more lights than my car. Of you take away my grill lights (2), my dash lights (6), the lights on the cornor of my LP(2), the lights in the side window (2), than you would have enough for a light bar that would be mounted to the roof. Leaving all the hideaways front and back, head light flasher, rear stick, plus the 2 light on the deck and the runner and you have no more than a patrol car.

i think the more lights the better

Is this his "private car"? When yes it is in the US allowed to use them to get to the fire station? I'm confused.

Confusing is right. Some states require a fixed light bar on the vehicle of specified size and colors. Other don't regulate much at all and allow the local Fire Chief to choose.

@@randallweese1885 sooo it's only for the chief ??

Hardly

Nah, it looks clean, just need a light bar for better high visibility

Tbh that's the only way to have it 😎

Tbh that's the only way to have it 😎

Oh fuck outta here with that bullshit

Yea in my state volunteers only have one non flashing blue light on the outside or inside and full timers sleep at the stations, and Chief cars are tricked out

What state?

Well he’s not in your state obviously

The 2 centers are temp for a test im running on 2 different brands. An interior bar was added and swapped to a different grill set up

Look for the update video! I now have one!

Christopher Johnson jersey sucks that way.

Hell in NJ you would be arrested for that many lights and that setup. Wig Wags illegal, the setup totally illegal by the NJ State Police standard and laws. You can not even have a lightbar on your vehicle. some departments don't even run lights in POV's in NJ anymore.

NJ State as of 2002.....Emergency warning lights shall be temporarily attached, removable lights of the flashing or revolving type not more than 7.5 inches in diameter, equipped with a blue lens and a lamp of not more than 51 candlepower and shall be controlled by a switch installed inside the vehicle.

No more than two emergency warning lights shall be installed on a vehicle. If one light is used it shall be installed in the center of the roof of the car, or on the left windshield column in a position where a spotlight is normally located, or on the front of the vehicle so that the top of the warning light is no higher than the top of the vehicle's headlights. If two lights are used they may be placed on the windshield columns on each side of the vehicle where spotlights are normally located, or on either side of the roof at the front of the vehicle directly back of the top of the windshield. Under no circumstances may one light be placed on the roof and one on the windshield column in the spotlight position.

Michael Bond that would he from the sun

I own my own install company. A PROFESSIONAL install company. Everything is wired and ran properly with proper connections. So what you have to do is good install shops in your area or asking police and fire departments where they get their cars done. You more than likely have a shop near you that your not aware of. Where do you live?

Thats unsafe

Not in our department. I am not wealthy but I made so great investment in the last 50 years. Now is the time to pay them hack. WE were established in 1921 but it all fell by the way side over the years. Almost 3 years ago I decided to add some parade equipment to make things a bit exciting, but to my surprise everyone in the lodge fell in love with the idea! So I personally guaranteed that ANYONE who put in the effort of training, and completing all the required courses as well as all the FEMA/CERT courses would NOT have to pay for a thing. WE are now at work as first responders! I have purchased 2 ambulances, 2 pumpers, 1 ladder truck, 1 DODGE RAM PU for a skid pack unit as well as a killer DODGE CHARGER for the chief (me LOL). Each and every unit has the newest of LED lighting, HAM radios, CB radios, City/County radios, and so on. All the units have fresh paint and all new real gold lettering and reupholstered seats. And true to my word each and every one of our 48 men and women have not had to pay a thing! From boots to socks, to flame safe garments to helmets with their names and rank on them. The catch is that if THEY cause the destruction through careless acts they pay for the replacement - if they wear out I will cover 1/2 of the cost. All the grants have been applied for but needless to say with all the COVID problems they are taking a LOT of time to process. BUT we are a proud working volunteer group. And the bunch of people that had no direction 2 years ago now literally fight daily to to see who gets to wash and polish the vehicles. 1 question though can you over polish and buff a vehicle? at $8k each for paint alone I sure don't want to do all that again. P.S. For anyone that thinks I am rich - nope - I bought used 2010 PIERCE equipment ($5k each), ambulances ($2.5 k) were bought off Govdeals, the PU was my 2017 RAM ($42 K new in 2017 I donated), and I literally stole the chiefs car from a city auction of ex undercover cars. ($1200 out the door with most of the lighting included) and about $9k to sex everything up. I did not keep count of the safety equipment, boots, badges and all that kind of stuff I figured at that point what I didn't tell my wife the better. Hope that helps to answer your question of how I equipped our station and staff. And after all I can't take it with this tired old body and I sure as hell and not going to leave it to the tax man when I life my last hose. Good luck out there and stay safe. Chief Dave

@RandomName I could be wrong, but I believe there’s a department near where I live that will pay for POV lighting if you’re a paramedic or firefighter 2 or higher on the department, but it’s really Basic. It’s only like one mini light bar and like a tiny 100 Watt or 150 watt siren

joemagliari11 in total i have as many lights spread out as 1 light bar. And maybe new they would be but the most expensive thing being the Nlines from soundoff were free

Used on Facebook!

Dark web

Goth-Vlogs like i said in the video its hard to punch the 5 percent tint on top of factory tint. I have yet to find a light that will get through effectively. Plus i havent decided what to do so I can trim the tint

Captain. At the time was FF

Never do.

Facebook! Have tons of pages that sell used equipment

Thanks, I was just unsure of where to look

By the looks of it, it seems to be a Yi Dashcam

@@NorthernNewEnglandDashcam correct! A YI dash came

Bradley Edwards im mixed depending on the light, sirens suck, I like their 4100 mini, and their sticks

Ebay and its not the nypd siren more than that dept uses it

He was doing a one year comparison

Until he rolls up on scene and rescues someone from a burning house... then they will love him lol.

Ahhhh a know it all. Some who has seen one person be a fuckin idiot that blames the lot of people. Sounds like a real liberal thing to say. No i do not thing im a cop. I do not act like a cop. I dont pretend to be a cop. I dont use my lights for anything other than the fire service. I put the thin blue line plate on to support law enforcement since i put it on when cops were getting shit for doing their job. Im not a fuckin wanna be so don't clam me to be something im not

@@ep-ou7sc that's what they all say... Be safe out there

@@SPDDTI354 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️👍👍❤

@@ep-ou7sc 911ep500 Just do you, don't buy into the people who dont even have a clue what its like to be in the fire service. We have to have our lights in our POV's to respond to station and calls; also have minimal amount of rescue and turnout gear in the car as well. As for the people claiming a wanna-be cop, no, if I wanted to be a cop I would go be a cop, but I'm a fire fighter that saves idiots like @SPDDTI354. So what if my car looks like a Christmas tree? At least people will see me when I'm on the side of the road pulling some jerk off out of car while he wrecked while he was drunk. Its funny how we get shit for having lights and sirens, but we dont get any praise for the work we do, and 90% of us are volunteers who dont even get paid to do it. Keep on brother, let the haters hate

Unitrol omega 90 has 7

@@ep-ou7sc indeed...quick question, I understand that your SSP control head also comes with a Hands Free feature, have you tried it?

@@chpman2013 yes i have. I had it hooked for sweep

@@ep-ou7sc ok...now I understand that a single press on the horn activates it, another press after that changes the siren tone, and a quick double tap deactivates it...but does a press and hold activate the manual tone? Just curious since you're one of the very few people with this particular siren control head.

@@ep-ou7sc ...and one more question on my mind, could you do a short demo of the Unitrol airhorn?

Incorrect. Without a roof mounted light bar one light to the rear and front would not cover 360 degrees of coverage. I roll intersections and occasionally parked on scene. As stated all the dash lights will be removed after February. If You break down all the individual lights, there isn't many more in the front or rear window that a light bar has. I do not live in a "Courtesy" state. My vehicle is classified as an emergency vehcile. Why should police cars, fire trucks and ambulances have more lights than my pov? Is my life and safety less important?

Travis Austin well not really haha. Unless you don’t mind doing that every 3 weeks until you eventually melt through your lenses. If you wetsand off the oxidation, and re-apply a clearcoat, you’ll be good for at least a solid 4 years. The Turtle was kits work just fine for this

Connecticut Dashcam I didn't know that

@Chpln. Abdullah Rashid Im Also not a wacker I just have visors and a light in the back

I prefer strobes n mores house brand

None of the lights are pointed at the hood. And to not move just bc you don't like the lighting is selfish. Because it be a real shame if you or someone you loved was waiting for emergency services and their care was delayed over someone who isn't moving due to their views, on fucking lights

@@ep-ou7sc well I'm not in your state so I'm not worried

@@Flywithjon because that makes a difference from my statement

@@ep-ou7sc yep!

Pull over. Idiot.

You haven't seen the update I see

Just got done work
