Subject: Re: Why 12? First, I'll post a few of the state laws. Text SUBCHAPTER C. VEHICLES, RAIL TRANSPORTATION, AND EQUIPMENT §541.201. Vehicles. In this subtitle: (1) "Authorized emergency vehicle" means: (A) a fire department or police vehicle; (B) a public or private ambulance operated by a person who has been issued a license by the Texas Department of Health; (C) a municipal department or public service corporation emergency vehicle that has been designated or authorized by the governing body of a municipality; (D) a private vehicle of a volunteer firefighter or a certified emergency medical services employee or volunteer when responding to a fire alarm or medical emergency; (E) an industrial emergency response vehicle, including an industrial ambulance, when responding to an emergency, but only if the vehicle is operated in compliance with criteria in effect September 1, 1989, and established by the Texas Industrial Fire Training Board of the State Firemen's and Fire Marshals' Association of Texas; or (F) a vehicle of a blood bank or tissue bank, accredited or approved under the laws of this state or the United States, when making emergency deliveries of blood, drugs, medicines, or organs. Text §546.001. Permissible conduct. In operating an authorized emergency vehicle the operator may: (1) park or stand, irrespective of another provision of this subtitle; (2) proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, after slowing as necessary for safe operation; (3) exceed a maximum speed limit, except as provided by an ordinance adopted under Section 545.365, as long as the operator does not endanger life or property; and (4) disregard a regulation governing the direction of movement or turning in specified directions. (Added by L.1995, chap. 165(1), eff. 9/1/95.) §546.002. When conduct permissible. Section 546.001 applies only when the operator is: (1) responding to an emergency call; (2) pursuing an actual or suspected violator of the law; or (3) responding to but not returning from a fire alarm. (Added by L.1995, chap. 165(1), eff. 9/1/95.) Text §546.005. Duty of care. This chapter does not relieve the operator of an authorized emergency vehicle from: (1) the duty to operate the vehicle with appropriate regard for the safety of all persons; or (2) the consequences of reckless disregard for the safety of others. (Added by L.1995, chap. 165(1), eff. 9/1/95.) The sections shown above are a few of the applicable codes in the Texas Transportation Code.

Small cities don't have the budget to hire full-time firefighters. Therefore, they have to rely on volunteers. See section 546.001, Permissable Conduct. > "A duty of Care" ? What is that? I have heard of a Duty to Act if you > are an EMT. Are you an EMT? Why do you need to speed so much to get to > the scene, are your radios different from the cops or firefighter/EMS radios? See section 546.005, Duty of Care. Yes, my radios are much different that the radios of most police/fire agencies. I have the capability to communicate with ANY local government entity from my truck, and I monitor public safety organizations for approximately a 75 mile radius. Whenever we work together with other agencies, one or the other may not have the correct frequencies to talk to each other. Therefore, I have equipment that lets me patch two channels together, so that they can communicate with one another. I also carry handheld radio relays for use in search-and-rescue operations where the handhelds may not be able to make it back to the base station. I also carry a GPS for an aid when we order a medical helicopter, and equipment to properly secure a landing zone for the helicopter when it arrives. >Please explain why you feel the need to endanger the public by speeding >excessively while listening to 15 radios. Don't your radios have different >channels? Have you heard of a scanning feature that radios come with? Most of my radios are commercial Motorola and Kenwood gear. They all have many channels (128 on most of the Motorola, 250 of most of the Kenwoods), and they all scan, all the time. I probably monitor 500 channels total, 24x7. Let me know if you have any other questions. Terry ------------------------------ From: "Dan Brotzman" <no1windo frontiernet.net>

What does he think he is doing rushing to your house trying to save your family and belongings from disaster? All emergency personnel should slow down, maybe pick up a box of Krispy Kreme's and a cup of coffee on the way to the emergency scene. No reason to hurry, right!

In the state of Washington, all fire personal which drive emergency vehicles are required to be certified every two years in EVAP (emergency vehicle accident prevention). Terry is required to act in accordance with all local and state laws, and his driving and actions are subject to a higher level of scrutiny that the average citizen.

How would you feel if it was your house on fire while you were trapped inside and I was at home listening to the radios instead of dragging your butt out the front door? Or maybe your tree wrapped around a telephone pole, and I'm at home instead of landing the medical helicopter that would take you to a major trauma center?

The Expedition is a little screwy at that high of speed, but it really isn't that bad. My new one with the 5.4L and 3.55LS rear end gets to 110MPH quick, until it pegs the speed limiter (groan). I'll have to get that fixed soon. The old one was the 4.6L with the 3.31 rear, the most underpowered combination you can find! Your mention of emergency equipment - The 97 had alternating (wig-wag) headlights, four halogen lamps on the pushbumper, covert strobe tubes in the cornering lamps, a strobe on the dash, a mini-lightbar on the roof (magnetic, not left there all the time), strobes in the brake and reverse lights to the rear, and three strobes hanging across the top of the rear glass. Plus KC Daylighters intermittently to warn people two-three miles down the road. Thanks for your thanks. It's nice to be appreciated sometimes!
