About LinkBacksI've never seen a Tow truck run blue lights. However snow plows in certain provinces use blue lights to signify being a snow plow. Tow trucks generally run amber lights.Originally Posted by Slaytallica45

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

Back to the original question. Why are so many threads on this issue posted and not issues like training, response, protective equipment, SOP's or any number or truly operational issues that may arise? The answer is simple. Most volunteers like blinky lights. There are many in my department that spend more on lights than the department does on repairing or replacing existing lights on the fire equipment. I do have lights on my vehicle. I come from quite some distance to the station. Also as a department officer I am authorized to respond directly to scene and bypass the station. That being the case I have hide-a-way LED's on my vehicle to keep traffic away when parked on the side of the road.
That being said I would much rather see discussions on training and department operations and the light issue to go away. If they are allowed and you don't act like a fool then use them. If not don't. Let's get to issues that are critical to volunteers that make up 85% of all Fire Departments and 80% of all firefighters.To err is human, To forgive divine and at times I am as much of both as you will ever find

I am afraid to say that in some places, if the wackers left, the fire department would be empty Originally Posted by Roch207
