Great Shots. Thanks for sharing the older photo's of the Lubbock Fire Department. Its kind of neat to see how the times have changed in the fire service. Good looking rigs though.

Wow... They sure liked the "Lollipop" lights.

Haha, yes. During the '70's through '90's, both Lubbock FD and EMS were a bit enthusiastic with their warning lights. When my brother & I went to Texas Tech in the early 1990's, we used to call the ambulances "Rolling Christmas Trees" as they were decked out with pretty much every Whelen strobe product offered at the time (not to mention dual Whelen electronic sirens, not just two speakers, but two control heads so they could be yelping & wailing at the same time, and I know at least one of them had a Q as well). Lubbock FD went a little overboard with the Code 3 offerings in the late '80's/early '90's. Starting with the KW/FMC pumpers, the big Force 4XL light bars with clear domes, and red, clear, and blue rotators were standard, with many of the Mack M & CF rigs being retrofitted. The crops of Spartan/Quality and E\-One pumpers (and an E\-One ladder) from the era also sported three front mounted Code 3 Stingers in red, clear, and blue. I'm a little disappointed that with the new deliveries they've become more boring with run-of-the-mill Whelen strobe/LED packages, but, at least they're equipped with Q's now, too.
