Maybe I am way out of line here but I can't count on both my hands (and feet) the number of posts related to a most likely $250,000.00+ fire apparatus being judged by the type of siren it has (or should have). Seriously, I have never heard of a siren putting a fire out, or rescuing someone from a burning building. Just my 2 cents!

Im going to guess that it is well over $250,000 & closer to &400,000 (I got an e-mail from the local Smeal rep for stock demo that runs $346,122 last week). As for a siren putting a fire out, it doesn't. Neither does a light tower, or an ergonomic hosebed. These things may not put a fire out, but they are all items that help us do our job better & safer whether it is responding to, working on, or picking up from a scene. Just my 2 cents...
