Emergency Lights in Private Vehicles

2006_June_27.JPG

Interesting results! In our small, volunteer department some of the firefighters use emergency lights in the POVs and some don't. I've spent time with and without emergency lights in my personal vehicle. In my experience, if you drive safely, the emergency lights help clear the traffic so that the trip to the fire hall is quicker. Not a lot quicker, but a little.

On the flip side, I've seen guys respond to the fire hall driving too fast and putting the public at risk. The emergency lights just make this situation worse.
