I love it!
Love the red/black color schemes. Thats a nice lighting package and love the lighting along the ladder.

I really like that the 600 grill leds are synced. I looks really good with the blue and red seperate.
I dont think they are synced, I think they just happened to be in sync when the vid was taken. I wish they were synced though

I love it!!! But does anybody else think there are too many blue lights, especially in the front?
This truck is featured on the front cover of the January-February 2012 Fire Apparatus Magazine. Magnificent apparatus!

You think so? They have a new ladder, a newish engine, and the rest is older equipment. Looks to me like a department that buys a new truck every 5-8 years, and never gets rid of any of them. I wonder what the price on that ladder was though. :undecided:CACBAND said:
Looks great, but I just cannot bring myself to embrace blue lights on fire/ems equipment. The blue, strip lights inside the ladder are neat.

If I saw a ton of red/blue lights, I would automatically think a huge police incident was going on. Red lights are fire trucks, red/blue is police.

You would be surprised going through Iowa then. Many newer engines and ambulances have blue all over them.

All my extended family lives in Iowa, and every time I drive there I think a SWAT van is coming up behind me 10-39....then I see it's an ambulance
I like the blue. I noticed a couple days ago that one of my city's ladder trucks had some of it's body strobe lens changed to blue. They have in the past always had all red set ups on their trucks with red/blue on their SUV's and pickups. Glad to see some blue on the big trucks now.

Whats wrong with blue on fire trucks? Just because they don't do it that way where you are from, doesn't mean its wrong. I would think a volunteer firefighter was coming up behind me if I went to Virginia and they were decked out in all blue. Not too long ago, state police cars here ran all red, and now the ones on the parkway use red in the front still. If you don't like it, don't do it to your next truck and you'll be fine. :thumbsup:

Agreed. Looks like reserve equipment to me.
Great looking truck, love the color scheme and the red/blue lighting.

I LOVE it! split lightheads are the only thing i don't like, but Pierce does a great job, and I like how the truck committee got the striplites along the side of the truck

Thats what I was thinking.. but makes vehicles stick out alot more.... many people are red/green colorblind and blue sticks out way better to them
More colors as long as they are in sync and not a purple blob.. are way more effective then one color alone.
