[quote name='First-Due' post='162490' date='Nov 11 2007, 13:12 ']I am sorry I should have specified more on the lighting package. In MA if you order a Fire Engine, Ladder Truck, Rescue, etc. the rear of the apparatus shall have 1 Amber and 1 Blue Light, minium.[/quote]
Last time I read Chapter 90, the law said MAY, not SHALL.
To whit:
Chapter 90: Section 7E. Display of red or blue lights on vehicles; permits; revocation; violations
Section 7E. No motor vehicle operated pursuant to section seven other than fire apparatus, ambulances, school buses, vehicles specified in section seven D used for transporting school children, and vehicles specified in section seven I shall mount or display a flashing, rotating or oscillating red light in any direction, except as herein provided; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall prohibit an official police vehicle from displaying a flashing, rotating or oscillating red light in the opposite direction in which the vehicle is proceeding or prohibit fire apparatus from displaying a flashing, rotating or oscillating blue light in the opposite direction in which the vehicle is proceeding.
