BigWil said:I liked the video, but it drives me nuts that the TD came on when the truck started. I hate it when FDs leave their TDs on all the time. We can already see it's a firetruck...it's big and red and shiny...you don't need to put on warning lights when you aren't going to a call. It's not bigger than a tractor trailers, but they don't run amber to the rear all the time.

OSP959® said:But why? (I know, I sound like a pesty kid)
Seriously, did they just do it to do it, or is there an actual reason behind it?
Yeah, I thought that was pretty scary/unnecessary myself. I can't say that I stop for every red light, but I come close to it... And my city is a fraction of the size of Chicago. You just can't trust people to show respect for emergency vehicles with lights and sirens like that around here.unityrv26 said:Wow, they are blowing some of those red lights like they're nothing at all!
