Long-time, no-post everyone. I'm wondering if there is a dual-mode LED out there that is around 0.75" tall? I want to mount a set of lights in the trim strip recess on my Crown Vic. I'm not worried about depth because I will probably 3D print a mount so the lens will end up near flush with the...

While browsing my local junk yard for some Crown Vic parts I found this guy! $75 shipped! (or will trade for a pair of R/W 3-mode Cannons)

I have one of these for sale. I bought it to use at a side gig, but they switched up radios on me and it wasn't comparable anymore. Used it once with an earpiece and it worked just perfectly. Speaker has an integrated 3.5mm earpiece jack. Connects to radio via 2-pin 2.5mm/3.5mm jack. I have no...

I am in the hunt for a set of Crown Vic LED mirror beams. Red/Red is what I need, but color doesn't matter because I can send them off to have the diodes changed from whatever they are.

So, I've been tasked with re-wiring an old arrow board trailer that my FD has had lying around for a while. I'm not sure if we have the original controller to the board. It sounds like we don't. Would a schematic like the attached work if I have to home-brew something? Can anyone recommend an...

10/8/2017 A confirmed tornado had passed through the area and FF Hensley was assisting with debris removal on HWY 70 when an intoxicated motorist went through the scene. The motorist stuck, and killed, FF Hensley. Funeral will be Friday the 13th...

Cooks Community Fire & Rescue. This is the department where I got my start as a firefighter. I served there for nearly 5 years before moving out of the county. They kept their brush truck in the #1 bay on the A-B corner. I hear it's pretty heavily damaged. Their 1st out engine is in the #2...

I don't run a ton of calls. We have a pretty robust full-time crew. But when I do, it would be nice to have a smidge of lighting. I've been inspired by NCHP marked slick tops. I figure "If it works for the guys who spend 100% of their time on the road, why wouldn't it work for me?" Those...

I saw one of these things are a regional training event, and I thought it was pretty bright. So, I wandered down into the bowels of ebay and bought the cheapest one I could find. On the listing, it never mentioned "Federal Signal". The description was "16 LED warning light". I think one of...

So, I was naturally distracted by watching the live coverage of this last night: (This image is linked to picture posted by Fox5 Atlanta. I don't know how long the link will last.) Obviously, big fire. Tough to access fire. Too much fire, not enough water (no fault of AFD, how do you get...

Comtelco multi-band scanner antenna I really don't know anything about this. I bought it when I was a wacker with a CVPI and I was going to use it to "fill a hole". However, I do recall that this is a perfectly fine multi-band antenna. I couldn't find the specific model # at time of...

Feniex Fairy LAWS (amber) PAIR A set of amber Feniex Fairies. Fairies were the Feniex LED hide-a-way before the Cannons. A phenomenal LAW. 8 LEDs per head. Fits in a 1" hole. I had a connector crimped on the end of the light heads that came off during un-installation. The wire that's...

Whelen UPS 690 power supply Whelen UPS 690 6-outlet, 90W strobe power supply. Includes control pigtail with enough wire to make a fresh connection. Also comes with a terminal block that is still wired to the flash pattern I had in my truck, Guaranteed not DOA. List Date: 11/19/2016...

So...I have a project that I need an old ambulance for. Right now I'm trying to decide what would be a more hassle-free chassis; Type III (Ford E-series), or medium-duty? For what I'm trying to do it won't be driven much, but needs to be able to easily be kept road worthy. I imagine parts for...

So, I had a crazy idea... Whelen Talons are expensive. But used Whelen Liberties are cheap. What would stop me from buying an older Liberty bar, gutting it, and mounting the heads on a bracket inside the car somehow?

Due to department policy, I can't make any statements on this...but I will post these here... http://www.wcnc.com/news/local/lincoln-co-firefighter-dies-while-on-duty/246134725 http://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/firefighter-dies-while-exercising-on-duty/346773205...

What the hell is going on around Charlotte these days? These guys work the west side of Lake Norman with us and Denver, FD. I've dove in that water doing rescue training. It sucks. This incident sucks. Time to get out the mourning band again...

http://www.firenews.net/pineville-firefighter-dies-battling-commercial-fire/ The firefighter hasn't been named yet. This one is really close to home for me. R.I.P brother

If any of you have followed this thread or this thread you'll know that I've been working on a business idea. Well today it went live to the public! www.charliedivision.com I probably have around 500 departments in my initial market area. My next step is to start contacting these...

What ever happened to the Titan?

This is becoming an epidemic here in the Charlotte area. Un-freaking-believable. http://www.wbtv.com/story/31279458/fort-mill-fire-station-hit-in-string-of-auto-break-ins http://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/thieves-break-into-vehicles-at-flint-hill-fire-department/104487745...

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...

Ok my fellow firefighters. I need your help. I'm working on a project and I need as much input on writing reports and NFIRS as I can get. I need to know how other departments take care of report writing and what problems they have with it. So, if you could please answer the following...

I appear to be missing the button at the bottom of my posts to edit? Also, I've heard there's a way to edit thread titles too, and I can't seem to find that option either.

So. Much. Win!

Can the Appollo F6 be ordered with takedown optics instead of wide-lux?  Or, any chance in getting a dual-color T3?

As reported by CNN the explosion occurred as firefighters were battling an industrial fire. http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/12/asia/china-port-explosion/index.html I have a bad feeling about the casualty count for this one.  Prayers for my brothers in the far-East.

(not my video...found on youtube) Good job sounding the roof during ventilation.

I love what you guys are doing with the "wide-lux" surface mount light heads (6x4, 7x3, etc).  Do you foresee expanding your lineup of large-footprint lighting in the future?  Maybe a light bar to compete with the Liberty or Pinnacle? ...part of me (the part that thinks I have money to spare)...
