Hey guys/gals, new here.

Post up what kind of equipment you have on your POV vehicle. Light bar, siren, speaker, extra lights, etc. Picutres/ Videos are welcome as well.

Forget that, I want to know why this is a topic constantly brought up by people with a single-digit post count?

Sorry that im new here? If this thread has already been made please direct me to it, im just curious. Im from texas where we're allowed all the bells and whistles on our POV, i was just kinda wondering what everybody else on here has thats all.

FF 21, try looking here.

I can't answer your question specifically 'cuz pov lights\siren are illegal here.

Personally I don't like the idea. Modifying your vehicle can lower it's value plus it's just another liability when we already have too many. High risk, little gain. If you live further from the firehouse and often miss out on calls well, that's just the way it is.

I have a personalized firefighter license plate with my firefighter designator as the plate #. It is useful for instances such as where I have to respond to an incident in my POV and access is blocked by law enforcement.


The forum search is useful but reading old forums doesn't necessarily answer current questions.

There is no such thing as a dumb question. Regardless of what some folks in here say. Don't let the bullies in here deter you from using this site. There are helpful folks and good info here.

Because there are too many people here that think because they don't need it, nobody needs it. Therefore the topic spirals into anarchy within 2 or 3 replies. There is nothing anyone can do about it.

I had the same thought... this must be a hot topic in some corners of the world.

It is much like the train wreck with mass casualties....

You don't want to look but you can't look away.

Everyone has an opinion on this. I don't think the majority are against use of bells and whistles, it just seems that way.

I don't like them and don't allow them. But that is just me. I don't expect to change your mind. Don't let the guys like me try to influence your decision. I just try to make you think about it.

Cool. Thanks for actually contributing to the thread.

Pictures with post would be awesome too!

Using the SEARCH function would be even more awesome. That way you could get the answer to your question in one of the other 3498948593475893745 posts about this whackerific topic.

Because it is the least important aspect to volunteer firefighting.

[HAFD112]

Do you really think that responding to calls is the least important part? Whats the most important, the Money?

Troll much?

Putting whacker toys on a POV has nothing to do with responding to calls.

Fire extinguisher, jump kit, spare set of turnout gear, hand tools.

No lights. No sirens. Not a single luxury.

You can see all the lights and sirens and bells and whistles you could ever ask for.

Why is everyone so hostile on this subject? If you dont want to deal with the subject and/or dont want to post about it, then dont come in to the thread complaining about it, that simple. No one forces you to click on this thread. On the other hand, if you would like to actually contribute to this thread, please do
