Quote:Another victim of the Amber-warning-light-years...Great historical photos, yuk to LACity for ever putting amber on the front of apparatus. Who ever came up with that idea?
 

So I've read...The CHP convinced LAFD for a time that amber was more effective, particularly on the freeways.

Thanks, I hadn't heard that. But they never used it themselves, so far as I know...


What's interesting is that at least a couple of Departments in California I know of still use amber on certain rigs, such as Orange County Fire (and maybe Riverside County) on their water tenders.

It's speculation that the truck is most likely at the dealer getting prepped before delivery.
People complaining about spam in the spam mail box... Huh, what'll they think of next?
