HAHA! I bet when they heard the location of the call when it came in, they were like "Wait a minute..."

@BFD740: The strobe tubes put out the IR light as well? That I didn't know.
Dang, you learn something new every day. Thanks.

@Natesmodelrailroad A lot of departments around here use regular strobe tubes for emitters. Most of the time they either install 1 regular whelen strobe head in place of an led in a liberty or freedom bar, or use a hideaway strobe in between the outboard and second position. I've also seen them like that, usually in the grille with a regular strobe head connected to power supply pushing 14hz

@BFD740 Actually, I don't think it's a pre-emption emmitter. I've seen one of those trucks running code, and up close, it's just a single strobe tube with reflector. You can see it flashing.

I really don't think they needed lights and sirens haha
-
wow

As a couple other guys have mentioned, Code 3 is defined as lights and sirens, always policy to use both even if you're in the middle of the country siren is still required.
Cool video though!
