Some time ago I did an exercise with Virginia CFS regarding the lights fitted to appliances in particular the 24P's when thay first came out,highlighting the inadequacy of the revolving beacons fitted to them,after a near miss when a vehicle almost took the nose off our appliance going to a job.
Nothing short of slapping a hazard notice on the vehicle we did the following to Virginia's appliance as a trial.
Fitted 2 x Mini Viewpoints to the roof red/blue with clear oscillators 2 x GS2 strobes to the front steps,2 x Strobes to the rear in place of the old Hella cheapies.Result 360 degree vision and instant recognition of the appliance from all sides.
Arthur from CFS HQ was told of the trial to which he said yes you can put them on but at BRIGADES EXPENSE
Good to see they expect the public to see a Hella beacon in daylight 10 feet above the road..gotta wonder
IM SORRY OFFICER BUT I DIDNT SEE THE FIRETRUCK!!!!!
