the NFPA (No Fucking Practical Application) makes some stupid recomendations. one of them is the stupid reflective stripes on the back of all our rigs now. if you cant see all of the blinking flashing lights on the truck what are the reflective stripes going to do? NOTHING!!! i cant wait to hear that the NFPA finds rigs are still getting rear ended in record numbers if not more often. its not because people cant see the trucks, its because PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID!!!
if you cant see all the flashing lights coming at you, the color of the ambulance wont fucking matter. its like the gay reflective arrows on the back of the fire trucks now...
Now this makes sense, having a black/dark blue ambo like this means if a patient dies inside, it can be used as a hearse and take them right to the funeral home. Its a 2 in 1 package! Not to mention its dark colour is great for night calls when you need to be invisible to the public... Who ever came up with this is brilliant!
I actually love the color scheme on this truck. We just got a new 2008 F-450 Type 1black on red and i love it, talk about it being really smooth and quiet inside it as well. Wish this ambulance had more lights and it would be perfect. I shall show this color scheme to our service maybe we can do our new like this, we get new trucks every two years.
what SHOULD be illegal is for someone to be as stupid as you. If you are saying that off the premise that BLACK is the hardest color to see at night maybe you need to go do some research. RED is actually the hardest color to see at night. Anyway SWEET ASS ride guys...not a big fan of the F-450s but it is an awesome piece. Hope it serves you well and for a long time to come.
Well, as long as NFPA approved of the coloring and stuff, it must be ok. I do agree that black is hard to see at night, but thats what the reflective stripes are for.
@deputy89 that's cause PA is a commonwealth..we're a do it our own way state..I'm down in York County and down here most companies abide by NFPA just cause it's for our safety..but i do like the black coloring..the rigs pretty sharp
@231productions Why are red lights so widely used as emergency vehicle lights in North America then? I'm not arguing against scientific research, just want to show my opinion :P
That is a eQ2b because a real "Q" takes a longer wind down at least our's does but any way nice video and yes, it would be nice if you could post more pic or vid of the squad.!!
That's NOT a Q siren. Sounds like a Screaming Eagle or Timberwolf. Sick sounding little grinders(usually only found on ambos)that want to be Q2Bs when they grow up. lol
It sounds like some sort of electronic q, because the braking sounds awfully abrupt. But it sounds way to air-y to be an eq2b, and the Whelen Q siren doesn't go that high.
Its actually three sirens, the high pitch screeching is a 'Q' siren typical on fire trucks. The others are regular sirens with different patterns being played simultaneously.
fuckin awesome!! Thats what the hell Im talkin about. Now what was the electronic siren that was going opposite the Q? I hafta say I like the navy blue, its different and it looks nice. 4 of our rigs and both rescues are by PL, they do a nice job.
Is that an F-450 front or an F-150?

That's not an eQ2b. It's a real mechanical siren, not a good one, but a real one.
(I have to listen to an eQ2b at work...trust me I know the difference)
When an eQ2b "winds down" it sounds like the last meow of a dying cat.
kevinsilverado 3 years ago
I know people that run there, it's an eQ2b...the reason the wind down sounded different is because they hit the "brake".
Rofocowboy84 3 years ago
yep, it's deff an eQ2b.... the brake is what made it go down at the end... I've always thought is sounded kinda funny.xD

like any Q it has a brake to stop the siren, like once you arrive on scene you hit the brake.
