    Ford's new decontamination procedure

    Most bacteria thrive from 40 to 140 degree F. So it may kill the wuhan flu but cause other bacteria, like e.coli and staph, present on our skin, to multiply. What could possibly go wrong?

    Command Post Interior Red Lighting

    How about a couple Federal stalk lights? They have a dimmer and a red lens if wanted. I like the dim white vs red. We had a couple mounted in the back of a command SUV.

    Air horn mounting location

    Any problems with getting crud inside? I had a set of trainmaster 3 bells under a F350. Passenger side. They would catch mud and road crap and snow in winter. I turned them pointing to the right, which really didn't affect the sound, especially if someone drifted over from the right.

    Dietz 2-11 Freeb

    Did this size also fit the federal CJ184? My old EMS agency ran these on our zone car roofs, same as PD. Went to clear domes with red/white, but the city garage thought they were too bright, so they sand blasted the white. Crazy, I know. I used to carry my own clear sealed beams and swap...

    Now that Im on Day 2 of house arrest, been watching youtube. Saw some trolleys (or streetcars) from Philly that have amber rotaters mounted on top. These three have what looks like an Opticom emitter mounted on top as well. Reached out to some Philly railfans as well. In my time in Philly...
