    I serving over 18 years as a firefighter EMT. We found that some of our members that put lights and sirens on their personal vehicles had a problem. We found that when they turned their lights and sirens on, their brains shut off. Remember your light and sirens don’t allow you to speed or run traffic lights or signs. If you crash going to a fire or accident you just created another incident. Your crash could cost someone to loose their life or property.
    And think about it. If you saw a ratty old flatbed truck coming at you with lights flashing and a siren blasting you probably would stop because you’d be laughing to hard to drive.
    Be safe, forget the toys and drive safely to the fire station. Those big red trucks are the one that need to get to the scene.

  • @Shield.148
    @Shield.148 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Yup, same stuff is laying around my firehouse! Please make sure you put a bead of silicone around the base of the light, so it won't leak into your cab.

  • @Hawaiishelldiver
    @Hawaiishelldiver ปีที่แล้ว

    When I was a little kid my local fire station had an antique fire truck with a hand crank siren that they would bring out for parades. It was a real thrill to run into the garage and crank the siren before they would come running out and chase us away.

  • @paulgumper
    @paulgumper ปีที่แล้ว +3

    With this video you just made my top 5, maybe even top three youtubers. (probably matters to no one but me). Every time you cranked those sirens I got the same stupid grin as you. Proud to have you in Michigan brother!

    my early teen self would have tried to put the siren and light on the same switch no matter how many fuses i blew out. my record is 16 fuses when trying to install a sparkomatic radio in a 1981 carola. finally found the faulty wire connection. lol

    Most likely if those wires were already in the roof they already run to a fuse somewhere

    • @andymehl7994
      @andymehl7994 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those are probably the power feed for the dome light. GM switches the dome lights on the ground side, so the power side will be hot all the time. And it is a fused circuit.

    Why a pushbutton switch? How long do you need to hold it while driving? Did you just not have a toggle switch handy? Still liked the video, just curious.

    • @jamiepeyton2676
      @jamiepeyton2676 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The push button is used to wind the motor/siren up and the depressed to allow motor/siren to wind down. This allows the hi/low sound. A switch could be used, but a push button is commonly used on this type of siren in the fire service even on apparatus manufactured today

    It ain’t a fire truck unless it’s got a Q on it. Should have put both of them in there 😂. At least the one you put in slows down faster then your typical Q, so don’t need to install a break.
