Firefighter POV green light setup - Bright Daytime View

This is my 2001 Ford Focus wagon. It has a green LED Axixtech Micromax II mounted on the front headliner, another mounted on the rear hatch window, a green Thundercat Electronixx TCSM LED in each rear side window, wig-wag hazard lights and a 100W Whelen Electronic Airhorn. I also have a double flip-down visor sign on the passengers side that has FIRE written normally and backwards for rearview mirrors. Obviously it's only useful during the day. Only green "courtesy" lights allowed here...and forget about a siren! Even my electronic airhorn is only borderline acceptable!

where is this at? Cause I thought Green was incident Command.

[Phyrphyter03]

@Kartracer6 Quebec, Canada. POVs in Quebec and Ontario and some states (like volunteer EMS in New York) use green. Green is also incident command, but people can generally differentiate between a big red command post/rescue unit and someones POV...although it was discussed by governement officials as being confusing at one point.

Where can I find green? arent they special order?

[Phyrphyter03]

Here in Canada they are easier to find because they are used more here. Check out Sterlmar Equipment's website, they have alot of green.

Depuis quand le vert est autorisé au Québec??? Surtout dans quel coin... J'en ai encore jamais croisé il faut dire.

@Phyrphyter03 here in illinois. at least in this area of illinois. We use Green for both incident command and for Public aid such as Red cross, FEMA, and sometimes the fire marshall shows up in green. I've never fully understood the point of color coating things so strictly because the average person usually isn't going to know these colors and I never tend to find my self trying to identify vehicles by their light color (maybe I should). So do people pull to the side for a green light?

Here in the UK, volunteer firefighters/EMTs/lifeboat crew aren't allowed anything on their private cars! Doctors on call get green courtesy lights and regular emergency vehicles get blue, but ambulance volunteer community responders, on-call volunteer firefighters and lifeboat crew members aren't allowed any kind of lights when they're getting called out to an emergency. Sucks :(

@Phyrphyter03 Also, just looking around youtube, I see many people use green LEDs from Speed Tech Lighting, they look like there would work well too... just for your information from one responder to another. Stay Safe!
