Someone as a kid once saw a ambulance,fell in love and use to design cool version and knew when they grew up that drawing would come to life,with ALLLL the lights.....behold that dream lol
All we have as emergency lights on our ambulances: 2 lights on the cab, 2 grill lights, 2 at the rear, and maybe 2 intersection lights .... that's all :D
+EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos Yeah we americans do like our flashy things :) Here's a more reasonable US setup: c4.staticflickr.com/8/7253/7475213460_1260684ded_z.jpg You guys could do with a bit more mid-level on the rear and sides, but I guess most europeans' way of thinking about it is "less is more"
+hvymtal well, it doesn't seem to me as if this ambulance was hard to see: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VePV_3-X9PI.html but apart from that, there are also countries in Europe with a larger lights setup on emergency vehicles, especially in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. Here's an example from the Danish Capital City Metro EMS: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ullTTco2ONg.html
I think the lore or at least the rumors behind these lights is that there were complaints that teaneck did not have sufficient enough lights on their ambulance. So in kinda a retaliation move they decided to go overboard with the lights. Kinda like "enough emergency light now eh!?" lol
One light bar right above another... The whole thing looks ridiculous. If you can't see the vehicle with ONE light bar, you won't see it with two. With all the money they have why don't they pay for some staff?
Ridiculous amount of lighting. I can't imagine approaching one of those ambulances at night, in the rain. You have taken safety in the wrong direction.
It is interesting to see how many people are blasting you all for having too many lights, too big an ambulance, too much siren, etc etc etc, but how often have all of us been stuck behind failures to yield only for them to say "we never saw you." Too much phone time and many selfish drivers today.
+infinitecanadian Plenty of ambos have grovers, and lots of medium-duty apparatus based on class 6 trucks have qs, at least in the US c4.staticflickr.com/8/7253/7475213460_1260684ded_z.jpg Type 3, Denver dept of health EMS
Love the light setup though if it was my company I would change some thing such as on all the rigs I would have the Feniex Lighting placed all around the rigs including all 3 full size light bars the reason being is it looks more uniformed and you get 360 degrees of pure bright as hell affective lighting I would also add chevron to the back of all the rigs now I know y'all are V.E.M.S. Company and don't have the funds to do so but its some of my personal ideas. On another note I personally think that all rescue response rigs larger then a ford f150 should have the Fed Q and Fire Air Horn do to the large size of the rigs running C3 P1 Hot and the idiotic drives who don't seem to not want to pull to the right and let them pass.
*In case if someone purposely tried to crash into one of these ambulance, they won't be able to win if they say " I couldn't see the ambulance " meanwhile there is ALOT of lights. I am no expert at all but I talk gibberish.
Unit 71 is definitely dragging chains -- I heard them several times. I did not notice if the other rigs are dragging chains, tho. Their drivers must be required to have CDL's ??
+Tylxr exactly, you want them to see YOU, that includes at the scene when you may be outside of the vehicle. Adding lights does not make you any more visible during the day, but can make you invisible at night. It can also cause drivers to stop in the roadway as they panic from being blind, or in a worse case scenario, causes a crash as drivers cant see where they are going. As an ambulance driver myself, Ill take the single light bar, three upper and 2 lower flashers over the setups on these rigs any day.
They can afford to put all those lights on but can't make the actual ambulance high visibility? I can spot a British/Swedish/Norwegian/Dutch ambulance from a mile away just by the colours and markings!
Do they really need all those lights on these things? Talk about overkill. Maybe instead of blowing the budget on oversized trucks and making them look like santa's xmas wagon they could pay the hard working paramedics.
