Alright so a little background. I'm a full-time firefighter/paramedic, my department serves a midsize town of 15,000 residents, a suburb of Boston and has recently implemented ALS level care on our ambulances. We run full ALS with two paramedics, current staffing is one medic per group and the second medic being called in off duty for calls that warrant it. (We average about 2,500 runs per year, most of which are EMS)
Anyone on the department can apply for red-light permits however each medic has received one and can outfit a POV as they see fit for intercept duty. I currently drive a 2011 Chevy 1500 Silverado so here's what I got.
Purchased most of my stuff online, but as it came together I revised the equipment list and got some excellent help over at MHQ from elightbars own emtanderson51, Thanks again!!
The install went well, done by Jason Martocchio of Northeast Two Way Radio a small shop north of Boston, took 2 days start-to finish, I got to dabble a little bit towards the end. Only thing that I was considering that due to time constraints got cut out of the install was to be red/white ions on the crew-cab windows for a little midship lighting, despite that I still think it looks fine. It appears to be a little front heavy for lighting, which it is, but in an intercept role, it will be responding to calls and either be left at the firehouse or beached on scene out of the way, so rear protection wasn't a huge concern, but I feel it is still well covered. My first install so hope you guys enjoy it.
