This video is the "Code 3" parade from the 2017 Ripon/Menlo Park Emergency Vehicle Show from laat weekend. Mostly California vehicles, with some from Nevada. Enjoy...
I like the electromechanical sirens best...guess my age is showing.
I like the sound of the B&M mechanical sirens much more than the Federals.
As for the electronic sirens, the only ones I like are the late 1960s Federals with the low-pitched tones. I think there were two vehicles in that parade that had them.
What is that low siren at 3:15 in the video?
A few screens shots of a couple that stood out to me.
This looks like a giant Fireball that doesn't spin.

I wonder if these were an issue at the drive in window? Ha.. They sit so tall. Probably no higher than a Federal CJ184 though.

Never seen everything mounted to one side like that. Appears to be a 174 in the middle.

My bad, there was another B&M I forgot about...Here is the B&M, its on a Los Angeles County Sheriff Dept. restored 1970 Fury, which I got to drive during the parade!View attachment 207990

Thank you for the info. Our area puts up barricades for intersections for events like this to prevent issues.Too many intersections to deal with. The participants are told they don't have any kind of right of way. So if you run a stop sign or red light and cause a traffic collision, you are on the hook for it.
I counted only one 9th generation Impala. It was so subtle I did not notice the lights at first. I should go next year and represent. I just need to get time off and permission. Anyone else going next year?
