I understand that they are red LED lights, part of the warning package.

Yes, you're correct, used in place of a mini lightbar.

Pretty cleaver idea instead of a mini lightbar

Yes they are and probably cheaper too instead of the mini bar.

You will have to ask one of the FFX County guys, however, FFX County is a county of almost 1 million people, several tank farms and lots of interstates so I am sure it gets it's fair share of responses. Fairfax County has Foarm 437 a 2000 E\-One Cyclone 3000 GPM 500 GWT 2000 GFT-B and Fairfax City has a 1991 White/Volvo/GMC Chubb National Foarm 1500 GPM 1500 GFT-B assinged to Foam 403. Fairfax City also has Foam Support 403 a National Foam trailer iwth 1100 gallons of B foam and Foam Support 803 a trailer equiped with a 3000 GPM nozzle.

More from my trip earlier this month to the Northern VA area. Caught Rescue Engine 433 once again.

From my August 2006 Northern VA trip....
Stationed at Fairfax County Station 430
Field Communications Unit
2005 Pierce Enforcer, 3dr LDV 23' box communications van.
Fairfax County VA - davemcclung - 04-29-2007
Another August 2006 capture (the pics at the Station) and April 2007 (parking lot pictures)
Stationed at Station 430
Tower 430
2004 Pierce Dash 95' Platform
FFx County has 1 possibly 2 similar rigs on order and 1 Pierce Dash 105' rearmount.
Fairfax County VA - crapgame79 - 04-29-2007
First off, Engine 11 pictured above is now a reserve rig.
TL 30 has 2 sisters, Tower 8 and Tower 40. After MUCH heated debate here in the department, the decision was made to order no more mid mount tower ladders.
The last rumor I heard was that a Pierce rearmount tower was going to McLean to replace tower 1, and 2 105' rearmount sticks were going to truck 11 and possibly truck 25 (which were the first 2 Pierce rearmounts delivered).
If anyone knows anymore please feel free to add/correct me!
Fairfax County VA - davemcclung - 04-30-2007
I first heard from one of the Operations Deputies last August that 2 95' Midmounts and 1 rearmount aerial were going to be ordered. On my recent trip I once again heard the same from several sources. When I got home tonight and saw the previous post I pulled out my Jan/Feb copy of Virginia Fire News (one of the best publications in the country....great job as always Jerry!) and the Apparatus on Order section confirms 2 07 Pierce Dash 95' midmount platforms and 1 07 Pierce Dash 105' RM ladder are due in July.
Fairfax County VA - davemcclung - 04-30-2007
The post for Engine 411 identifies that I caught it when it was in service front line and that it since has been replaced by a 2005 Pierce Dash.
Fairfax County VA - davemcclung - 05-01-2007
I got a note today that said the next batch of 4 07 Pierce Dash pumpers are due in August or September. If anyone hears anything different or has heard of any new orders for next year please post them here.
Fairfax County VA - davemcclung - 05-01-2007
The other FFX County new deliveries that I am aware of is a 07 Dash Pumper for the Springfield VFD which is Fairfax Co Station 422, 4 more 07 Dash pumpers due later this year, and 2 Pierce tanksers. Fairfax City FD also has a 07 Pierce Dash pumper on order to replace the current Quantum assigned to Engine 403.
Alexandria should be good until they replace Truck 208.
Arlington County I have been out of touch with for a while. Does anyone have any information on recent or new orders? I think they replaced a few pumpers and a rescue squad in the last year.
