@FireExplorerPC can't imagine it is possible to see the red lights in night traffic that good, between all the red tail lights from cars. at least a mix of red and white would be good, even more visable would be blue and white
@FireExplorerPC Not as easily as blue lights. I wouldn't at all mind seeing fire trucks with a pair of blue lights in front and in back in addition to the typical red lights.
At day, under bright sun that can't be seen. It's impossible. Not Perfect, but far better would be blue lights. Best would be yellow Cars with blue lights.
@SpartanML you couldn't pick a worse colour really, red is the least sensitive colour to the eye in the day and at night and also blends in with many other lights (traffic lights, car indicaters etc). Blue on the other hand, doesn't blend in with anything. If I see a flash of blue light in the corner of my eye, I know that it's an emergency vehicle. If I see a red flash in the corner of my eye, I'd ignore it, it could be anything.
@04smallmj I agree with you as in many other states (mine included) we operate red and blue which is a much more effective set up. However unfortunately in some states all red remains legally the only color fire/ems can operate. It is ridiculous however some states are slowly moving away from the antiquated all red policies that date back decades. Blue and red go quite well together.
@04smallmj exactly: red and white emergency lights are not easy to see in traffic at night, even if they have an awesome flash pattern. blue lights aren't used on other vehicles so it is very easy to spot them in the traffic
@b747dude not necessarily a bad thing....last summer several state troopers in massachusetts were hit by drunk drivers. i'm hearing now that after studying why the sudden surge, one theory was the flash patterns with the lights causing the drivers to go to the light and end up hitting the cruiser
Wonder if any of these guys transported brittney spears lol

@04smallmj What exactly makes it terrible? Besides, the law states fire/ems can only run red in California.

@dirty654321 It is probably an older slope side box refurbished and remounted on a large medium duty cab. Does look a little awkward for sure.
