I took a look around and found some older pictures of this truck, and even then it had amber lights. Apparently this vehicle is intended for non-emergency use at special events and such, which MAY explain the lack of red lights. Although this picture shows differently as I'm assuming this is the 2nd alarm in Chelsea the other day.
As far as I know everything else they run has red warning lights. I saw one of their trucks at a fire in Ipswich a few weeks ago and it did.
Also, in case anyone wasn't aware, it was reported on Firenews.org that Rehab 5 now has Wilmington's old Rescue 1 and will be converting that into a canteen truck.[/quote]
Even though Roger Baker owns this van, It's not a "Rehab 5" vehicle. He doesn't do any fire scene rehab from this vehicle. If you can see the plates in the pics, notice that they're regular plates. That's why there's no red lights on the van.
