[bill330]

Love the green and red lights on th front of the truck.

@bill330 In Washington DC on their roto-rays the engine all had red, ladders were green and rescue were blue, but now its totaly mixed.

[pimpdoctor2008]

awsome

[colchesterfd328]

haha my small town uses Q's like that........like stated, to bad cities dont use em.......im know FDNY's rescue 1 has one

[yehyehsoilwell]

Yeah, Thats Right.

[MetalSanke]

San Fransisco is one of the few major city's that still use real Qs in the US.

[daddydog97]

Now THAT is what a fire siren is SUPPOSED to sound like!

By the way, who built the truck? I thought the SFFD had gone 100% ALF.

[MetalSanke]

I wish FDNY all had real Qs.

[yehyehsoilwell]

YOU guys use a powercall right??

[NickyVeee]

The truck looks like it was Spartan made, but I'm not entirely sure. If an SFFD buff can help me out that'd be great.

And only the newer units are ALF, at least from what I've seen.

[yehyehsoilwell]

barely the trucks use ALF, but yeah,you are correct the older engines are Spartans, and the newer engines are ALF,their burgandy.

@NickyVeee The truck`s a Crimson TDA

[usmcwarrior94]

@NickyVeee The truck is most likely made by Seagrave. I am a FDNY buff and I've been to two firehouses that use a seagrave tiller.

[usmcwarrior94]

@NickyVeee Its either seagrave or pierce

[yehyehsoilwell]

Not being Rude or anything, but its basically the whole Bay Area, they dont use powercalls. We use the Q. And your right,i was just in SF today,and E-7 blasted the Q,and it as old fashioned.

[jazzbutterworth]

@MetalSanke Check out rotoray's videos of the fire department of Palm Beach County. I don't think they will ever get rid of their q. And as a bonus, most of their trucks aren't even equipped with electronics.

[JoHnIsThEmAn287]

whats the green light for?

[havingfunhere]

It's traditional on fire apparatus, although it really serves no purpose. It's just for tradition.

[sffdone]

Wrong. It's used only on trucks in SF so you can tell it apart from a fire engine at night when arriving at a incident.

[rykember11]

Exactly! But It normally is used is the Chicagoland Area where it started.

[rykember11]

It is usually used in chicago and surrounding communities...But I never knew somewhere as far as this had them!

[cmanleyspy]

not there's a skilled engineer and tillerman
