[quote name='Lime Guy' post='99859' date='Apr 20 2007, 12:25 ']Any body notice the illegal blue light on the Decon truck?[/quote]
It looks like the same blue light on the rear of Engines 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 16, 32, 33, 37, 42, 51 & 52. Ladders 1, 3, 15, 17 & 18 among others. But further research indicates that John is technically correct. Mass General Laws (MGL) Chapter 90, Section 7E allows fire apparatus to use blue lights on the rig as long as it is in the opposite direction as the vehicle is travelling (ie the back of the rig). Police vehicles are similarly prohibited from using red lights unless they are used in the same manner. Fines are no less then $100 and no more then $300. Good eye John.
