Thanks for sharing! Quick question, any idea why E7 has a different model LED lightbar than E33 & E37?



Thanks in advance!

No idea, the lights on the back step are small square mini led lightbars which are different than 33 and 37.

I was under the impression, from somewhere, that the '99 E\-One CII from E07 was being re-assigned to E14 when E07 got their new KME. Any idea why 33's got re-assigned to E14 and what E33 is in now?



And didn't E33 have Whelen LED floodlights over the FF rear doors?



Thanks in advance.

E33's KME got reassigned because it was too tight fitting into the station, I would guess that the flood lights were either damaged trying to squeeze it under the archway, or were removed so they were not damaged. I don't know what E33 is running now, I would guess there old ride until something new is ordered.



Here are some of the goings on in the BFD
