Denver's finest!

That's Denver NORTH CAROLINA. I finally got around to uploading a video the 2015 Denver [NC] Christmas parade. Leading off the parade was Denver Engine 11, Alexis Engine 200 (Alexis is a mutual aid company that runs between 2 counties), and East Lincoln Engine 33 (our first-out engine from Base 2).

Denver and Alexis run Whelen lights, we (for whatever reason) have Sound Off on E33. Sound Off wouldn't be my first choice for a fire truck...but whatever. It gets the job done. We just got it's twin back from the factory (getting its 10-year refresh) and it came back with all FedSig. We also just got a tanker with all Whelen. Go figure.

I should add that the Sound Off bars were retrofits. The truck did have an MX7000 when new. E33 is due for a 10-year refresh too. Don't know if lights will be on the list since it already has perfectly fine LEDs.

Honestly, the SOS bars don't look bad there (although I, too, wouldn't make them my first choice for apparatus), but I think they just need to choose a better flash pattern b/c that looks like a flickering mess IMO

Hoping to see a vid/pics of the new tanker soon.

 

[vonirkinshtine]

I will have one soon! Hopefully it will be in service soon as well.

The SOS bar doesn't look bad on there. I would just change it to a less seizurey pattern.

Ok, everyone stay tuned. We're revamping our website and once the new platform is ready I've volunteered to take new pictures and video of all our apparatus (just got a new SDXC UHD-1 memory card for my DSLR...hello HD video!). Give me a few weeks and I'll assault your eye holes with lots of blinky goodness.

Still haven't scheduled the in-service photoshoot, but here are the manufacturer's pictures of Tanker 31 as we were taking delivery.

I will say that the flash patterns for the lighting is very nice.

Thats a very nice solid flash pattern on T31, well done.

We have a Sound Off Pinnacle bar (took place of MX also) on our citys busiest engine and it looks and works fine. Not my first choice for a engine because i think the freedom is the best, but looks fine.

Not bad, but not to nitpick... You should probably change the title to Denver's Bravest and not Finest.... Lol.
