    This thing is lit up like a Christmas tree. haha. well done though. I will never understand the legislation on some states in reference to vol. fire rescue. In Texas whe a vol. is responding, his POV becomes an emergency vehicle. Run red and blue as well as similar laws apply as they would any other apparatus.

      SAME HERE in my hometown of Penacook, New Hampshire.
      VFF/EMS/EMT POV's are considered Emergency Vehicle's when responding to a call and they have Red, White and Amber Light's and siren's to when en-route to either the Fire Station or to the location of the emergency, and YES they DO obey all traffic law's when responding.
      Blue Light's are reserved for Police Vehicle's.
      Green Light's are Security Vehicle's.

  • @benschwan673
    @benschwan673 7 лет назад +5

    Not bad, but it is way over kill.
    My suggestions, ditch the light by the rear license plate, move the front hideaways to the parking lights so they can be seen, ditch the white lights in the grille, and I would swap the 4 head stick on the brush guard for 2 singles.
    Also I would make sure you can turn the rear hideaways off at night, white light can be too intense to approaching drivers at night, slow down the T/A pattern, and sync the green lights in the back window.

      Well hell, out here in Colorado Springs, we have utility and regualr city trucks (I'm city contract employee) that say emergency response on the front fenders. Yet, they can only use yellow/amber lights responding to an emergency like accident (mainly on major high traffic roadways, fire assist (traffic directing, temporary road/lane closer), power outage, intersection light outage or all-way light flash, water main burst etc. When they should be able to use yellow/amber for non-emergency/typical road/utility work, and then red and siren for emergencies. Its just stupid.

      EMS 916 It is. Its annoying as hell as well. And the thing with it too, the police and fire wonder why it takes so long for them to get out there. Yet the police chief wont sign the paper work to allow for our trucks to do so. And the other thing too, we have roadways that flood because thats how they are designed for drainage, and so, when the roads flood or even regular roads flood due to poor design or drainage, they have to be blocked off, people call in multiple times impatient as all get out wondering why the barricade truck hasn't shown up yet. Annoys the hell out of me for sure.

    Man... I'm not beating you up on your set up so please do not take it as such. Honestly man people are laughing themselves silly when they see this truck rolling down the road full LED's on. The public as a whole will not take you as being legit. It's way way way over kill. You want a clean install meaning no more than 2 colors. Never use the color blue, using the color red ONLY if you are vol. fireman red/white or amber/white. Unless you are a Forrest ranger the green has got to go. I would not move over with all the LED lights running literally blinding people. That's becoming a real issue especially for senior citizens. Thousands upon thousands can not see very good at night causing accidents so can only imagine what is going through their minds as

    I grew up in the Concord District Town of Penacook and the Penacook Volunteer Rescue Squad (that service's both the town's of Penacook and Boscawen) the light's on all the Firefighter's and EMS POV'S have RED,WHITE & AMBER LIGHT'S all around & they also have siren's too, plus if they don't make it to the station when the Main vehicle's leave they can go directly to were the call is.
    GREEN LIGHT'S are Hospital Campus Security Vehicle's.
    BLUE LIGHT'S are Police Vehicle's.
    But every state is either the same or different. Still it Really is a Cool Lighting Set-Up man. Stay Safe and Sound out there.

    Blasting green lights to the back or the sides had to trigger at least couple of confused, distracted drivers to mistake this "warning color" for a green light on a traffic light. Archaic, silly laws need to change.

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад +3

      Cannot agree more. The green to the rear has since been removed for that reason. I was trying to stay with the 360 degree requirement, but real world it makes no sense. Hopefully we can get the legislature to change, its a work in progress.

    all that lighting, probably when you have everything going, or whatever you need to use at the time, you always keep your truck's engine running the whole time right, unless you have put in a much Bigger Battery under the hood to be able to take the load of everything, right????

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  6 лет назад +2

      Good question! I always leave my truck running on scenes. Occasionally I turn it off. Since everything is LED (Minus the white strobes) the power draw is very minimal. I already have a big battery since I have a full stereo system with some subs. I have never dropped below 12Volts on my voltmeter because of my lights.
      Great question though! It was something that I had to measure out once my lights were installed.

    • @pizzasubs
      @pizzasubs 6 лет назад +1

      Thank you so very much for answering my question, so even though you said that you normally do leave the truck running while you have the emergency lights activated, if you did shut off the engine, and leave the lights on, about how long would it take for the lights that you have on at the time to actually drain the battery, and one more question if I may please, since you are a volunteer, I am guessing that the city/town that you reside in doesnt pay for the Fuel that you use when you respond to calls, is that correct? Thanks again......

    • @EMS916

      @EMS916  6 лет назад

      Solid question and I wish I could provide a solid answer. Sadly there is no national standard for lighting. It is all up to your state/department and whatever laws apply to them. Some states that is red/white, others are blue, and some are even green. Typically you will need a permit from your department for any specific color lighting that they use for their members. Hope this helps!

    I agree with a lot of these comments.
    Remember, there are 50 states, all with different laws. Then every fire department/ officer with differing opinions. THEN, a gazillion cops who ALL have their OWN opinion! So, more updated and more common laws are sorely needed!
    With all that said, something we ALL need to remember is:
    DON'T Become part of the problem!
    More Lights DO NOT mean you'll get there any faster!
    And with lights- Flashing Faster isn't NECESSARILY
    better!
    Going through red traffic lights sounds GREAT ! ... until it's not !
    Waiting for a light to change (go green)??
    Think about killing your light show !!
    Your asking for the Right-of-Way and not taking it.
    CONFUSION! and secondary incident time!
    Being a volly is a ton more than lights!!! It ALL starts with LEARNING all aspects, and making WISE decisions from the initial alert!!!
    Having a million lights ... could trigger bad reactions to other motorists - don't care? You will when they hit you!

      Agree 110%. I feel like all inclusive federal legislation would solve the majority of the problems out there. Lay the groundwork for consistent standards across the country, instead of each state winging it. It would also give volunteers a lot better visibility and protections when going outside of their home state.

      I drilled through the rockers on the bottom of the truck to run wire. You have to be careful, and make sure you use grommets and some sort of silicon to seal it. Last thing you want is water getting inside and things starting to rust.

    Personally if I was a M F R I would run 1 magnetic light on my roof, and get alt wig wag (right brake- left reverse flashing and visa versa) and the same with 1 low beam to 1 high beam and vise versa.

    how do the traffic situation work with the amber and green lights? do cars have to pull over to the side?

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад +1

      They are courtesy lights just like blue lights for firefighters here in Indiana. They don't have to legally, but most do.

    • @user-os8sq3uh4n
      @user-os8sq3uh4n 6 лет назад

      Nope. Probably zero states where you have to do anything for green or amber. Just keep driving. Flash a strobe flashlight out the back window for good measure.

    Anyway I can see what you used to mount the speed tech traffic advisor... I want to get away from suction cups and can't figure out the headliner bracket

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад

      I simply pulled the sun visors off, pulled the headliner down, and modified the brackets to attach to and around where the sun visors attach, then put the headliner and visors back into place.

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад

      I obviously should not reply to comments in the early hours of the morning haha, I just pulled the headliner down and ran the brackets under the headliner, I had to bend them a little. Then is rests perfectly on the rear seats headrest so it is extra secure.

    • @Texasmud425
      @Texasmud425 7 лет назад +1

      EMS 916 which type of bracket did you use or did you just buy the two static headliner brackets from stl

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад

      I used the static brackets, but I bent them so they held a little better into the headliner.

      @EMS916  5 лет назад

      All I did was use heat-shrink tubing and soldered the connections. It didn't hold up as well as I would have liked, but for a fun project it did well. Especially since I bought those strips from eBay! lol Thanks for watching!

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад

      I made my own wiring for all the switches. The control box is from Speed Tech Lights and that is for my traffic adviser in the rear window. They offer a few different options for control modules.

      @EMS916  6 лет назад

      Brian Dillon I ended up pulling them off my truck, but I cant find them anywhere on eBay. An equivalent would be a Z-4 from Speed Tech Lights. I recommend buying from a source like Speed Tech, Wheelen, or Fenix. The cheap lights are not bright enough. Hope this helps!

I started in Elkhart Indiana then moved to Terre Haute for a while, with a year lay over in Vincennes. Am in ky now as a medically retired Firefighter/Paramedic.

    @bkrutz123 6 лет назад +1

    Here in New York State, volunteers can (besides chief who can run reds and sirens) can only run blue lights with no siren. So when responding, we run blues, but still have to follow all traffic laws. It's useless and just ups the response time to the station during an emergency.

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  6 лет назад +1

      Cannot agree more, I think all departments should go Red Lights/Sirens on personal vehicles. Thanks for commenting!

    • @bkrutz123
      @bkrutz123 6 лет назад +1

      EMS 916 Absolutely. I think with that, maybe should come some code 3 response training, but that is about the only thing that would be needed.

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  6 лет назад +2

      Perfect. Make CEVO/EVOC certifications mandatory to have a siren and boom. Problem Solved.

  • @christopherjohnson5236
    @christopherjohnson5236 7 лет назад +1

    People say that's too much lights but it's not. There's people out here that won't yield to certain emergency vehicles quickly. Here in New Jersey, the POV laws for Firefighters and EMTs use blue/white in the front, sometimes get away with red/blue in the rear, no siren and have to yield to traffic laws. But Fire Chiefs can have red/whites or red/blues and sirens in their POVs. On my truck I have amber/white equipped used for snow removal and security work. I don't have a plow yet but I transport snow equipment to certain locations. Sometimes the city cops give me a hard time because I'm not a municipal/state truck the but the State Police don't say anything when I'm on the highway

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад

      That is interesting, in Indiana anybody can have amber or white for any reason. This is a LOT of lights, and I have since adopted a "less is more" attitude. Quality over quantity for sure. Cops are pretty flexible with us too over here, they don't really give us too many problems.

    • @christopherjohnson5236
      @christopherjohnson5236 7 лет назад +1

      EMS 916 I think the problem is that anyone can get emergency lights fitted in their cars and the cops don't know who could be impersonating an officer or not. When I got my truck this past summer I had the Amber/whites on my car and when it snowed I put them on. The city police gave me some problems the most because I they think I'm impersonating someone.

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  7 лет назад

      Christopher Johnson that is weird for sure, amber typically isnt associated with emergency vehicles so that shocks me haha

    • @christopherjohnson5236
      @christopherjohnson5236 7 лет назад +1

      EMS 916 Yea you're right. NJ cops can be a pain in ass. I just got a job working for my town being a Public Works Maintenence Worker so I can use the lights when ever it's time, manly for heading to work for snow clearing

    Strongly recommend a 2Million CP Handheld Spotlight , either hard-wired or cig. lighter plug-in . There are times , especially in rural areas when you need to illuminate something that is outside the range of your fixed spotlights - ( ie: 45 - 90 degrees to the sides ) .

    • @EMS916
      @EMS916  6 лет назад

      001DesertRat I plan on a roof rack with floodlights on sides/rear. We do have spotlights that are handheld in our ambulances so it is a good idea!

    • @001desertrat3
      @001desertrat3 6 лет назад +1

      EMS 916 -- Floodlights are not the same as a good spotlight . Floodlights are good for maybe a hundred feet out from the light , but if you need to illuminate somethng that is 500 feet away or more , you'd better have a spotlight .
