Just heard that RESCUE SQUAD 29 is going to something on ROCKVILEE PIKE [30 MINUT OR MORE DRIVE, MAYBE 15 WITH EMERGENCY SIRENS & LIGHTS ON] I saw that unit & it is almost too big to fit in the station [looks like it just makes it in to the station], wonder why they have red & yellow instead of the red & blue & white lights? Wonder if all their stuff will get the yellow lights, would like to look inside because they transported a person who got stabbed a few nights ago.

Thanks

Bob

They don't have blue lights because they can't. Fire/EMS are allowed to have red and or white. Alot of emergency vehicles are starting to include a bit of amber because it's much more visible and brighter, thus it draws attention quicker... and alot is placed on the rear so they don't get hit.

Sorry anout that, hit a key that made it save.

Sort of like these tow & state trucks with amber lights, I see blue & red on the fire stuff up here & rescuse 29 has red & ambe. I guess as life goes on people are finding out what works & slowly the whole county [montgomery] will change to amber & red [bright colors/blue bright too].

Thanls
