search for mount horeb fire department in wisconsin. we have discussed this dept a few times and i am sure there are a few threads on the subject.
Here's my video from last summer. They left lights and siren but I didn't get that part on video. Mount Horeb is about 45 minutes west of me.
That varies by state, some areas just require an EVOC card, some want a "Non-CDL" license, others want a full CDL. My state upgrades your civilian drivers license to a Non-CDL Class A when they issue the EVO card, with the expectation that you'll receive appropriate training from your fire company for the Class A-type vehicles, the EVO course here is just a basic "due regard" course with a little parking lot action.RMBROWN said:
That truck has only two Qs; two speakers in the bumper have Q-style covers but aren't actually Qs.
JohnMarcson said:yes, this truck ONLY has 2 Q sirens and 2 100w speakers... ha ha
The speakers are probably the BP100s with the $300 "Q" covers on them
Oh, and don't forget the two chrome bells on the bumper
That's a fire department with a heck of a nice budget! I see several of their trucks have Federal 176 Beacon Rays in addition to more modern lights.
The chief of Mt. Horeb is a really old school guy IIRC. He wants his people to be seen and heard!

If I understand FedSig's site correctly, the BP100s aren't available with the electric F logo, only the BP200s are. As such, that would mean they're pounding out 400 watts of electronic siren noise, as well as the noise of the 2 Qs.
I wonder if they use hearing protection while responding? For that matter, how many of their people have hearing issues that could be related to the excessive noise in the workplace (in this case, their apparatus)?

If i remember correctly that chief your talking about passed away a few months back.

Yup you are correct. I just checked it in the catalog. I forgot the BP100s aren't avaliable with the chrome finish and the "Q" grill.
400W, on top of the two Q's, and of course we can't forget the two bells (which I'm sure they have setup to dig somehow).
At least they can be heard approaching, but once they pass you're probably SOL for the rest of your life where your hearing is concerned.Anyone know if they sold Rescue 40 and what they plan on replacing it with?
One of their ambulances is ridiculous...
