MFR105 congrats on being the 110th person the point that out

Hi Zach, I just came upon this, and, noticed you correcting yourself. You know, I can't stand it when people come on here, and, make real fools of themselves, saying things, like, Lmaooooooo," Dodge Wrangler"! followed by a Laughy Face! That's just me though.

How do the lights not drain the battery?

Vincent2wice 😂😂😂😂

Just came from the FCA (Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram) dealership which is why I had a slip of the tounge haha

tounge lol

REALLY NICE VEHICLE MAN TRULY - Um - I hope you don't mind me asking this, but the Light's are flashing Blue not Red - I thought Fire Vehicle's - even POV'S have Red Light's and Police Vehicle's have Blue Light's. I guess it's different in some states.

@@DreadWing7777 in some northern American states if it is personal it is blue lights only for "courtesy lights" and no siren or blues and sirens. I'm my state it must be red or mostly red plus blue for fire. I'm in Texas.

@@justanotheraviator2357 - OHH - I'm from the Concord/Penacook area here in New Hampshire and here all of our Fire Vehicle's, including the POV'S of the Penacook Rescue Squad are Red, White and Amber Light's and our Police Vehicle's are the only one's with Blue Light's, so you can see why I thought it was Police Vehicle at first. Plus Green Light's are Security Vehicle's.

dodge owns Jeep what is funny

Simple Times but it's not dodge. Even though they are both mopar, it's still incorrect.

funniest thing, how can someone get that wrong

MOPAR owns them all soo they one big family

Fiat owns them all.... but who's keeping notes....

raymond dukes Hey Raymond. I've mentioned this in another comment. This is a lease so I can't drill holes.

But still you must bash your knees when you get into the JEEP

Awesome! Send me a message directly to my channel if you need any help Jordan.

its not a option

I agree. Im with a vol. dept and we can only have green/ green and white. I wish we could have red and white. But blue or blue/white seems odd to me, some people will think its police and that can be dangerous

@@jordanschriml4374 that sounds cool. I've never seen a first responder use green lights in the US but I don't know if you live in the US

@@xcq7222 Washington State uses green lights for volunteer firefighters' personal vehicles. They are courtesy lights, so no sirens, no rule breaking, and no one has to pull over. New York State Volunteer EMS personnel may use green lights.

@@johnarat9618Yes, here in NY we use Blue only courtesy light (no white) for volunteer fireman and EMS can use Blue or Green but most Use Blue. Also, not allowed to run Blue lights everywhere, only 1 fixed Blue light like a mini bar, full bar, dash light but we cannot deck out the vehicle. Some departments enforce this. Green is also used with Amber for municipality plow trucks but not private contractors and Purple is used for funerals.

@@Terk131 I heard VFD or VEMS chiefs may use reds with sirens

In my old hometown's of the Penacook/Boscawen area here in New Hampshire, Fire POV's have Red, White & Amber Light's, plus they also have siren's too.

Thank's Jason!

Daniel MacKinnon Illinois is the same way but where all crazy, up north towards Chicago , they run blue lights for law enforcement and red for fire and green for ems (except ISP is going back to all red or red/blue if you want stay rb) and down where I'm at and middle Illinois fire is blue courtesy and law is red blue. And fire trucks and rescue can run all red or red/blue

Michigan you can run red, white and Amber

@@brandonh5201 - Here in Concord, New Hampshire - Blue Light's are Police Department Vehicle's, Red, White & Amber Light's are Fire Department Vehicle's, plus Green Light's are Security Vehicle's.

Hey RainboxSixThree. You'd be surprised that, at least with the nearly vertical Jeep windshield, there is almost no glare at all!

They don’t ...if your gonna go “off brand” get Abrams (for lightheads and sticks only) or SnM. STL is garbage....this guy did great with what he has, but for the price of the STL stuff you could get stuff thats on Whelen, Fed Sig, SOS’s level with SnM in-house and white label products (the 911 signal products they carry rival the big three above)

John, with the exception of New England (the North East), you are correct most agencies in the US reserve blue for LEO's, and red/amber for Fire.

PA and NY utilize blue lights for firefighter/EMS POV's

Matthew, thanks for the comment. You are correct about the white light permit, or what is considered a flashing headlight or "wig-wag" permit. For my jurisdiction, I know we get out permits directly from the First Selectman or First Selectwoman of the town, and as a normal volunteer you wouldn't have any luck applying for one. Only chiefs. As to how the mini lightbars are secured, they sit comfortably and tight in the dash without any mounting, and are tightened down by the wire being secured behind the dash holding it in place. I've taken the jeep off-road with no doors on, and even on the roughest trails haven't had any problem with them flying around. Thanks.

+Zach Caler that's awesome! My back bar is secured with Velco pieces on top of the rear headrests at the moment. I have to hard wire it in. I'll put up before and after videos.

Because Jeeps are limited on where you can mount radios, all of my radios are mounted remotely. I only have a control head up by the dash to control all radio functions and also all my lights, siren and air horn, and directional light bar. Its great because its an all-in- one setup and takes up very little space. I hope to post a POV video of my JK Jeep set up soon.

Sure. The switch box is the PCC4W Whelen switchbox with 4 illuminated switches. You can buy them online from Whelen or just look it up on Ebay. I bought it locally.

Awesome. Thank you!

Camby Simpson it depends on what type of vehicle you have. Tons of options out there

I use a dash light with an L bracket on the rear door window that I got off of Amazon. Works great, the only problem we had with it is that we went responding to station at around 6 AM, when it was foggy, with it fogging up the windows, you couldn't see them through the window

NickF14 the siren tuns longer for actual calls. The test is 30 seconds which he actually mentioned

J Lonemedic to answer your question, this is a UHF radio that sends out a UHF signal to a cross band repeater which in turns outputs the transmission to 33.72 MHz low band

That's odd. I live in Northeastern PA and takedowns are perfectly fine. My dad ran them on his POV for years.

Pennsylvania state law states "§ 4572. Visual signals on authorized vehicles. (a) Flashing or revolving blue lights.--Ambulance personnel, volunteer firefighters, certified volunteer search and rescue organization members and owners and handlers of dogs used in tracking humans may each equip one motor vehicle with *no more than two flashing or revolving blue lights.* " Everything else is illegal to run en route

+Guildarts Clive my dad ran a full size lightbar with a traffic strip and takedowns and alley lights. He also had grille lights and two light bars in the rear window(one blue and one Amber). The cops around town never said anything to him and any of the cops throughout the county.

1 light bar i believe counts as only one light because it's all one assembly but those grille lights he ran were illegal but not many cops are gonna ticket you for too many lights unless he's a real stickler

Took me a second. I genuinely clicked on your channel to see what you were talking about lol... thanks for the comment hope you enjoyed!

No your not lol

facepalm

And it has a 6 liter V6 apparently...haha!

Omar Whyte dodge makes Jeep

Still working on that one lmao

I replied to one of your other comments, check that out. Thanks!

In the State of Conn. the only firefighters that use emergency lights in their private vehicles are Volunteer. Full-time, paid firefighters don't use these lights in their cars. This is because volunteers need to respond rapidly to the station or scene from their house, whereas paid firefighers are already at the station. The only people allowed to use red lights, white lights, and sirens in the State of Connecticut are Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs, and Assistant Chiefs.

+Zach Caler thank

+lazy shepards I mean thank you

Volunteer departments where the people live outside the station. You would use your POV to get to the station from your house when a call goes out, or you would use it to go straight to the scene if your co-volunteers already have the trucks and are underway to the scene.

That would most likely be a departmental policy that differs from department to department, but most of the departments around here (Eastern CT) don't have that policy. Instead, many departments give their higher up officers (detectives, lieutenants, captains, and chiefs) take-home cars. However unlike down south, most of the cops around here do not get to take their cars home (except Connecticut State Police Troopers).

It depends on states

BamaBoys Outdoors Thanks for your comment! The two most used terms are either Privately Owned Vehicle or Privately Operated Vehicle.

depends on the state

That's definitely a Jeep

Ginger Smash you're going to be put on probation first if you're voted in. Minimum 6 months most times. Depends on your department. Plus you need to ask permission from your chief or deputy chief for permission for a blue light light permit.

Worry about studying, doing ride-alongs, taking fire science at local college..the important stuff, before worrying about what kind of lights. That's like worrying about what to name your kid when you don't even have a girlfriend. :) Best of luck to ya tho and keep learning!

Rob Johnson well if you're responding to calls and get stuck on scene in your POV you'd want to be seen. As for fire science classes, that's debatable and has no practical use out in the field. No time for math and science problems. EMS is where it's really at.

Most towns/area allow you to drive about 5-10 MPH over the speed limit with courtesy lights. They also come in handy at stop signs as usually other vehicles will yield right of way to you. Unlike Missouri, states like CT and NJ both require special insurance for emergency vehicles. I found this out after a fellow EMT was involved in a crash and claimed that he was an emergency vehicle because he sounded an air horn. It turned out that some insurance companies require you to report when you have a red or blue light in your personal car for "Emergency vehicle response." As a courtesy light, you are not considered an emergency vehicle, so while people are expected to move over for you, you are not permitted to force your way around traffic or through an intersection as you would driving a fire truck or ambulance. This reduces the risk of an accident, which in turn means lower premiums for volunteer responders. There's also a lot of crap from police impersonators causing trouble here in the northeast, as well as some members from the local hatzolah outfitting their vehicles with an overabundance of red and blue lights which is ticking off local and state police. NJ vollies won't be using sirens any time soon.

+Mike Ayers Ok that makes sense then. Part of why I asked is because I have a good friend who is a volunteer in Illinois and for them it is illegal to exceed the speed limit or go thru intersections.

Lance Lehr yeah the laws vary by state, and in some areas by county.

+Mike Ayers exactly and it kinda sucks because you have people visiting a different state and they may not know what do do when you get behind them.

Thats simple. If you see flashing red and or blue, pull over and yield right of way. If the vehicle pulls behind you and you fear its a police impersonator, remain calm, put your four ways on, CALL 911, and slowly pull away. Tell the 911 dispatcher where you are and they type of vehicle you are driving. There is no excuse to not stop for someone going to an emergency no matter what color light they have.
