@mcrking35 not necessarily. it depends on the driver most of the time. i believe they are supposed to turn off lights and sirens and proceed at a normal speed but most just slow it down.

@aaronjmott oh i c. well then why sirens? isnt it lights and sirens or nothing?

[aaronjmott]

@mcrking35 The Ladder was responding at "reduced speed" and the Engine had just gotten recalled. The fire was only 2 blocks away.

[mcrking35]

how come noone has lights on?

@rrobertsnot5150 I know. The double Seagrave was even better! And I like the other lights better. LEDs do not look right on an older truck.

Lucky catch of that Seagrave tiller! A shame they replaced the Aerodynic lightbar
