That was the point. If you knew him, you would understand, those that didn't know him thought the exact same thing...what a waste of money. Chief Chuck Himsel was all about the flash which reflected the pride of the department. Not only was Chief Himsel a traditionalist but he was able to get things for free, or at least dirt cheap. He had a collection of old lights and sirens too. Half of the lights and sirens you see here were probably freebies he had worked out with the mfg., he would do all kinds of wheeling and dealing like that. Not only did he want overkill but he trained his guys to be awesome and they are awesome.
There was no one else like him, either you loved him or hated him.
RIP Chuck!
