Hello everyone,
I live in TX - a mentor of mine was a first responder before being diagnosed with bladder cancer, and had just rigged up a brand new 2014 Tahoe PPV/SSV with a few Red/White/Blue strobes and a siren as his POV. To me, there's no better honor than to be able to re-rig his car and continue to use it in the line of serving the public and saving lives.
Here's my question. I tried reading the Texas transportation code and found it to be vague around what colors emergency personnel can use. I see lots of fire apparatus with red white AND blue, and some with just red/white. Personally, I don't see why it would make a difference...But in an effort to ensure I'm up to code: to use this as a Fire POV, do I need to replace the blue lighting with just red/white, or is blue applicable to ALL emergency personnel? Does it even matter?
