Thats awesome bro.

I'd love to be a Volley, but, I'm in NO physical shape to even attempt it.

Hmmm... wonder if I could put a set of those horns on the Harley? I could just lay on the horn through every intersection so people don't pull out in front of me.

I suppose space might be a problem, maybe I could mount them on a trailer with a small generator and air tank and tow it along with me!

Yeah I am a very rare case in my area haha. There are many LT and Captains that dispise me greatly. Since I do tactical/SWAT training and K9 Unit part time on the side, they didnt think it warranted a car. So they equipped my personal truck with minor wig wags and I am NOT to use them on minor traffic type deals, only for immediate emergencies.

So you are kinda 'exempt' from the law in this situation.

I am running on my truck a mini halogen bar light that has a clear dome and each rotator has red filters on them. Behind the grill I have a pair of halogen grill lights that has a flasher on them that allows me to select one fo 7 preset patterns. Currently I have it set for a medium speed wig wag. To top it all off, I also have a 100 watt siren behind the grill/bumper. For the volley fire service, only chief's can run sirens and red lights. Otherwise I would be running a blue light.

aww man do I love those, I remember in NH on spring evenings, my girlfriend at the time and I would sit on the tailgate of my truck next to the pond, there was a winding road that passed behind where we were, the teenage kids up the hill always had something on fire, and 1 out of 3 times that fire lit something else on fire, once it was one of the kids, he was ok, I don't think he has gotten hair to grow since, but one night it was foggy, and we heard one of them comin up the hill, and when every time we heard that "Q" wind down, it gave us shivers, I loved that........

Strange I know, and sorry for the rant.

Always wanted to be a FireFighter, not to ride the trucks, pull the horns, or look like a hero, but to do something for the better of the people I shared the town with.......a good deed, everyday.

Shawn, What ever is this..."Sleep" you speak of?
I have never heard such TRAVESTY on this thread in my imagination, and you have the audacity to spout off this vulgarity in public?
