Former Chief Chuck Himsel (RIP) had a huge collection of lights, sirens, and bells (among other things). He would spec the truck and then him and the rest of the department would install the Mars lights, sirens and stuff using items from his collection. Taxpayers did NOT pay for that. It was paid for by fundraisers throughout the year. They used that money for the bells and whistles, leather helmets, leather boots, etc.
