Talk:Emergency vehicle equipment

Untitled

Could someone please add a short description of each kind of light. Also could we find some terms for the bubble gum machine kind of light that can be linked back to the cb terminology.--Gbleem 17:15, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I know that "hide-aways" isn't very descriptive. Some of these lights are pretty complicted, and have (or will have) their own pages. They'd be up already, but I have final exams mid-month, so most of my energies are temporarily diverted. Someone else may get to it before then, though, so keep checking back.

Are there any specific questions that you have? I, or someone else, may be able to help with those in the interim. For instance, by "bubble gum machine lights," I think you mean beacons or light bars; there's a good page on light bars presently which may be of use to you.

Hope this helps -- Badger151 19:27, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Organization

This should really be reogranized and linked with all of the appropriate sections, such as fire trucks, ambulances, etc. Jantman 21:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Jantman

Well, the equipment mentioned applies to many different types of vehicles. Though there are many differences, there are also many similarities in the equipment carried by police cars, fire trucks, fire engines, ambulances, &c. That is the equipment that is described here, with links to pages specific to specific vehicle types. Theoretically it might be possible to also list the specific equipment for each vehicle type, but I doubt it could be done so as to be both understandable and not too long. Also, although an inner city fire engine and a fire engine in a rural community will both be equiped with flashing lights, a siren, and a two-way radio, the types of specialised equipment may vary significantly. --Badger151 04:15, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Traffic light preemption

What about traffic light preemption equipment? Acdx 10:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Volunteers' Vehicles

On many pages related to this - specifically light bars there is information about volunteers' personal vehicles. Perhaps we should consider creating a page for that topic?--Jantman 05:49, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
