[EngineCompany01]

You gotta put a Q on that.

[mxfrmbarsspbdsrtrver]

[rykember11]

There is one! Center of the bumper...

[NamaoFire]

there i a Q on it haha

[ColumbusFire14]

I am really liking that Pierce Engine!

[Xplorer4x4]

Thats gotta be the worst sounding siren for a fire truck.

[Heyde1979]

no it is not

[BarbqueChicken]

Nice Engine

[gerthwetherford]

jfmb where i work the driver is in charge of the siren, and xsax in the local area departments hav a numbering system to identify them, the first 1 or 2 digits identify the department, minooka is 13s obviously, the second number is the station number and the last digit is the type of equiptment, 1 2 3 are engines 4 5 are ambulances 6 is a squad or heavy rescue 7 tanker 8 brush unit 9 ladder trucks

[athelstanefire]

yep, correct, except that 8 can be used for "alternative" units as well. for an example, in Westmont (MABAS 10) their command unit is 1888. I have also seen 8 used for pick up trucks, fire prevention vans, things like that

[hellfighter890]

campbell ur gayyyyyyy hahahahaha!!!

[suzukiman8408]

around here, its station number followed by id, 0 is field pieces, we us 4, 5, 6, for eninges, 1, 2, 3, for rescues, 7 for ladders of just make it ladder (station)

12-6 Rescue Pumper

12-5 Engine

12-7 Ladder 12

6-6 Rescue Pumper

6-7 Quint

3-4 Engine

3-6 Resuce Pumper

12-8-B Duty Officer

Thats how New Castle County, DE does it.

[Slavin71492]

for christ sake somebody hit the q

[athelstanefire]

hahah THANK YOU!

[xsaxguitarx]

why is it engine 1312, why not 1 or something?

[jfmb9]

ok number 1) the driver is not in charge of the siren. 2) if you have a q use it. works very well and is much loader then a eletronic.

[downtownfireman20]

plus people know its a fire truck when they hear a q

[FirefighersKid01]

nice truck

[dodgetruckn15]

hey didnt u guys have explorers go to explorer-cadet fire college

[gerthwetherford]

why does everyone care so much if and when they use their q siren, how bout when your driving you can use the siren however you want

[Scania500V8]

all of are trucks just use the q except the ladder truck which uses a powercall and a q

[BakupAlarmIsPow3rcal]

real fire trucks dont use powercalls

[rykember11]

Didn't know there were any powercalls here in illinois.

[sta540rulz]

no use in having a q if your not gonna use it. its useless as a intersection clearer. it only sounds great when its used constantly, allowing it to go up and down

[UGGamerz]

ok from my point of view since i go to minooka almost everyday the fire dept their is way too big they have like 20 trucks a little over board considering the size of minooka

[7089540230]

if you can count they have 20 trucks..i will give you 20 bucks

[bullzisnipr3]

where do you get 20 from??

[MetalSanke]

Geeze, ask them to get a better electric siren. Like a PA300 or something

[7089540230]

tell you what..how about you order the one you like & have it drop-shipped to the firehouse..i will see if i can get it

"installed" for you! LOL

[fdnylover]

@7089540230 damn its the camera lol

[CTFD13]

@MetalSanke that is a PA300.

[RDG484]

The Q's in the center of the front bumper. But like most departments today it's been downgraded to a secondary siren just for clearing intersections. In fact I've seen many rigs where the Q is controlled only by the driver.

[nineoneone119]

Our 2006 Pierce Enforcer has no pedals for the Q siren, its contolled by the driver using the horn button on the steering wheel.

But every time they go out, they go out loud and proud with the Q, I don't think I've ever heard the electric siren used on that truck.

[mnjbooth]

nice rig!! where's the q?
