I have the 333-A. What does the process take to make the adjustment?

To be honest, I prefer the sealed beam and rotator lights. I will leave the LEDs for my little boys Paw Patrol sneakers.

(12) A deputy coroner certified pursuant to KRS Chapter 72 may equip a publicly owned or privately owned motor vehicle, or both, with flashing, rotating, or oscillating red and blue lights and a siren meeting the requirements of this section solely for the purpose of responding to a report of...

(2) As used in KRS 189.920 to 189.950, "public safety vehicle" means public utility repair vehicle; wreckers; state, county, or municipal service vehicles and equipment; highway equipment which performs work that requires stopping and standing or moving at slow speeds within the traveled...

This is very similar to the KY Revised Statutes. I am including the entire statute but bolded the section in question. I appreciate your input. 189.910 Definitions for KRS 189.920 to 189.950. (1) As used in KRS 189.920 to 189.950, "emergency vehicle" means any vehicle used for emergency...

Here is the video that brought up this thread. If you don't want to watch the whole thing watch between 1:00 and 2:00 minute marks.

Do you know if Code 3 made an SD bar that was comparable to this one? I remember one of the old fire tankers at the local department had a light bar like a Twinsonic but the flashers were mounted right against the inside of the domes. I want to say the flashers were between the rotators. Never...

Clay County. I currently live in Manchester but from Oneida. The truck I use for my profile is the original truck from the Oneida Volunteer Fire Dept. When I was a senior in high school, I did a descriptive speech for the English class using my dad's SVP 1166 tear drop dash light. I used a...

I am just courious about the standards used from state to state about the number of flashes emergency, utility, and public safety vehicles (public and private owned) have to produce when their lights are in use. I am from Kentucky but I am not aware of KY having such regulations. Many older...

Back then, many ambulaces were also hearses. Both funeral homes also operated the only ambulances in my home town. But back then, the only job of the ambulance was to transport you to the hospiptal, not treat you while you were in rout. :hopeless:

Thats why I am grateful to find this site. If my lights break down or are damaged beyond repair, I can find another light or parts here. I like LEDs to a certain extent, only they are not a true 360 degree warning lights. I have seen vol ff dress up the front of their POVs like a Christmas tree...

I emailed the same question about my 1166 last year as well and found out several key pieces of info. As you, I prefer the slower 80-90 fpm pattern. To me, the pop of the flash is longer and more brighter than the 160 fpm pattern. What I was told was SVP ordered the 1166 from another factory and...

That and making them with the wrong color domes. I had a toy tow truck with a red light bar. I didn't know if it was a rescue tow truck or a fire department's recovery trruck. :weird:

This photo was taken back in 1980. These were the charter members of the department. This was taken soon after the truck was delivered, may have been on a run by then judging from the mud on the wheel well. My father is the man in the middle with the blue shirt and gray pants. Due to death or...

Thanks for the information. :thumbsup:

I am not really sure what model it is but it is a Fed Sig Interceptor. The siren in the video below is the exact same sound as the one on the truck. Listening to this vedio can bring back a lot of memories watching the truck go by my home and also being on scene with my father as the truck would...

My friend aquired a former telephone utility truck that was equipped with a Fed Sig Ultrastar strobe beacon. I asked him if it works and he said it did as long as the truck was in reverse. I thought he was joking but kept saying it during the conversation and said he wished he could get the...

Just found out this morning that the department has sold this historical piece of fire fighting equipment. A local farmer gave the highest bid. I don't know what will become of the truck now. :confused:

Weird escort procedure. In KY, up until last year there was some confusion as to what color lights could be used. The legislature finally updated the law by saying that red, blue and amber could be used in any combination of the three to do funeral escort. This refers to the funeral homes...

I learned to drive in a 1972 Plymouth Fury III. It was this same green color. My sister called it "puke" green. It also had the 360 V8. From what I understand the 360 was the middle size moter of the three offered. My sister would drag race it in collage. She said it had a slow pick up time but...

Just another situation that is imaginary. Say you roll up to an intersection 3 lanes wide. 2 lanes are for through traffic and one lane is for left turns. Each lane has multiple cars in it. No shoulder on the right because it is a side walk. No sholder on the left because it is a concrete...

I caught a rerun episode of In The Heat Of The Night and it had one of the brown sheriff's car for Newton County in it. Those cars had the 5200 strobe on top. This was when the character Bill Gilespy was still chief of Sparta. If you can find an episode with those sheriff's cars, you can see...

Yep, I remember the patrol car parked on the side of the road with the glow feature on. I don't really remember them being on when giving chase but only a few times did I see a chase go by my home. Thanks for you answers.

I remember that the light in question was the 5200 but I was only about 10 years old then. I do remember the base of the light having take down lights on it as well as the one with out take downs. But I think that question has been answered already. I only remember seeing the light as a strobe...

Ok, some one please explain this to me, not the wreck, the light bar. I take it this truck is still in service with the fire department. But with the amber lights, is it considered a first responder vehicle or is it more like a scene clean up or recreation vehicle? Not very well versed in the...

This is unbelievable. Talking about the fox openly bragging about raiding the hen house. The flag on the gate says it all..."Don't tread on me!" Its one thing to be patriotic but then using the flag as bait to potentailly kill someone in the name of freedom, that is plain sick.

One thing I have wondered is how much grace there is when a vol ff travels from one state to another when on an emergency call. For example, I know of a vol ff whose department's jurisdiction is on the state line with another state. In his home state, ff can run in POVs with red lights and siren...

I don't mean to nick-pick but, I live in the Daniel Boone National Forest and there is also a federal prison in the community. All prison vehicles are white except for the tranport buses. The prison uses chase cars and they can give chase just like regular police. So yes, emergency vehicles that...

I know what you mean about the off season. Only mine was every day. I worked as an in house security officer at the local hospital. I wore a full uniform and badge. I had no arresting authority what so ever and the supervisor maintained that the most important assignment in the last half of the...

Thanks. :)
