Just thought I would see if there are any firefighters on here. Would be nice to see what others vollies or full timers have done to their trucks.

 

FF/Paramedic here.

I am anti-light bar, ha ha, makes the truck look wayyyyy to "whacker-like", so I'm pretty stealth mode about mine.....

Tail Strobe:



Front Corner Strobe:


Also have 2 blue ones that look clear when they are turned off behind my grill, so you really cant see any of it, until its turned on.

One more.....

 

Engine, where ya at in Ohio? Anywhere near the Pa. side?
What color is your truck? Looks like we have pretty similar trucks from your description!

pgh_medic - I am in Central Ohio - about 20 minutes from Columbus. My truck is Beige.....other than that, Pretty much Identical trucks! I bought the Vector basically to have more warning power. Poeple around here just seem to look at the 4 corner strobes and say *Aaagh.....Pretty lights!!!* and dont seem to comprehend that they need to move over. They just want to sit and stare. Plus my FD is kind of a stickler for having mounted lightbars. If it wasnt for that, it would be lo-pro completely! It almost killed me having to drill through my roof to mount it. Oh well......the sacrifices we make.

 

My name says it all....

25 years as a firefighter.. Just retired from the air force where I was a firefighter for 20 years. Als ran the base 911 center.

 

Engine: Not too far away! Sounds like yu have a sweet truck, is your lightbar all blue? If i had to get one, Id def, get a vector bar, by far the collest out there, is it a 7 or 3 pod bar? The 7 pod ones with the arrow stick inthe back are sweet, the Pa. State PD have those on all of their marked cronw vics, they look sweet! Be safe out there BROTHER!!

 

Medic - In Ohio Fire run red and white, police run red, white, and blue. I would be in serious trouble if I even tried to run blue domes. It is a seven pod smart vector. This is my first V bar, and I must admit that I am VERY impressed. Not too often you have a lightbar that reflects off of everything in the DAYLIGHT!! I went on a run the other day and could not believe the light output that this bar has. I had an MX7000 before this one. My smart V has the eight lamp arrowstick in the back also. All I have to do now is find someone that is willing to sell the controller for the vision/vector for dirt cheap and I will be all set!!! Stay safe bro!

P.S. See if you recognize these:

PTB - FTM - EGH - KTF

 

Here is a pic of my truck.....you can see my truck with the V bar mounted (finally).

Not the greatest of pics.....but you get the idea!!!

 

No doubt, got the leatherhead lingo....

Truck loks sweet with that bar, thats cool you get to have red lights....only our chiefs and asst. chief get res and white, everyone else gets blue....

Keep 'er shiny side up!

My sister is a firefighter. She did have an Expedition, but unfortunately she flipped it 3 times...
Luckily, she walked away alive.
She now has a Chevy... lol.

 

Sorry to hear that SlowSVT95......glad to hear she is OK though.
