    Outer edge type bracket?

    Does anyone know of anyone other than Whelen and Lone Star that makes an outer edge style light for the 11-16 Ford Explorer/interceptor? I'm looking to get one and mount my own lights to it. Whelen only sells a blank bracket specifically for the ions, and Lone Star won't sell just the bracket...

    Outer edge question

    Did Whelen ever make the outer edges with 500 series LEDs? I could have sworn I have seen them but through searching I've only found the ION series. I'm looking to build one for a 2014 Ford Explorer so I was looking for ideas.

    Custom lightbar brackets?

    For cars that the manufacturers didn't create a bracket for, what do you use to create a bracket? Is there a way to re-form a bracket that the lightbar came with or do you just create a new one from scratch?

    Tir6 vs Lin6

    Hey everyone. Does the Tir6 need as much rear clearance to be surface mounted as the lin6 does? What I mean by that is, w/ the Lin6s if you want to surface mount them they stick out 2-3". Is it the same w/ the tir6? or does it sit a little closer to the surface?

    These helmet fronts are amazing

    This guy is a true artist, some of the shields that he paints are truly amazing. And they're only $110 for a 100% custom painted one. If I'm ever in the market for a new shield, or if I think of something creative to put on mine, I'm going to Bob Stella. Helmetshield.com

    Show me your board mounted equipment

    Exactly what the thread title says. I know a bunch of people on here will use a pierce of plywood and either paint it or cover it w/ some sort of material and use it to mount siren control boxes, radios, etc... Anyone have any pictures?

    Cencom ?

    Does the secondary power wire (not the 2 8g leads) need to be connected to an ignition powered source? Or can it be put on battery power? The reason being I don't think the car that it is going in has any open 20amp ports that I can connect it to.

    Armchair firefighters on youtube

    Anyone else hate the armchair firefighters on youtube? It seems like no matter what type of fire it is, or how quickly it is knocked down. There is always someone who knows of a better way it should have been done. I swear that a company could show up at a fully involved house fire and throw a...

    Realtree fire helmets... ugh

    Yes, these are real and they're made by Bullard. I would hope that nobody would wear one of these, but I know someone will. As if vollies didn't have enough stereotypes to live up to:
