by Abrams MFG 13 Apr 2022
If you are thinking of assisting your state by becoming a volunteer firefighter, then you might need to dig into some of the rules and tips for using the emergency lights. Now you must be wondering how these two are even related? To answer your question pop-up, we have done thorough research to come up with the most reasonable point. 

To become a volunteer firefighter, you must explore the use of the emergency vehicle, that is, a fire truck, and to make people alarmed at your arrival requires the utilization of alarming equipment like LED emergency vehicle lights and sirens. And that's where you have to look up the laws associated with using the equipment, primarily the firefighter emergency LED lights. 

Firefighter Emergency Lights

Why Do You Need LED Warning Lights To Respond To An Emergency?

Quickly addressing an emergency becomes a critical need. And when the case is pertaining to a fire emergency, even a few minutes' delays can worsen the situation. Therefore, to be rightly equipped with LED emergency vehicle lights and sires attached to your emergency vehicle is vital. This can eliminate any hindrance that can hinder your way and alarm the road users and pedestrians in advance to make way for you. 

Not only this, with ameliorated visibility, safety, cost-efficiency, and personalization, these emergency vehicle warning lights can create immediate awareness. 

An important question that arises while going through LED warning lights laws is,

 

"Are Emergency Lights Legal For Volunteer Firefighters Or Not?"

To put it simply, there is no definite answer to this. There is a more significant gap between the rules affiliated with one state to another, and not only this; you can even find differences between local municipalities. 

 

Limitations To Use LED Warning Light By Firefighter Volunteers

Every state adheres to a specific law that differentiates from any others, and therefore, the use of LED warning lights has its limitations pertaining to a specific region. Let's have a closer look at a couple of these strictures. 

 

  • It is regarded as illegal to use any bright colors for personal vehicles in some states as they might intervene with the visibility of the first responders or other drivers on the road. 


 

  • When it comes to the use of interior LED dash light bars, its use in any POV (privately owned vehicles) has often been considered illegal in certain parts. The reason behind this is the perplexing view of these lights that might seem a replica of the police lights. 


 

  • One can witness the embedded restrictions on the use of specific colors for emergency lights. For instance, the use of blue and red emergency lights is only confined to police emergency vehicles, and no other vehicle is at liberty to use it. Likewise, the use of the combination of white and red light bars is only designated to be used with ambulances.


 

  • LED bars amber lights are often constrained to be mounted on the vehicles except for the front grill part. This has been done due to the inefficiency it places while drawing in the attention from the traffic and being incompetent to get a clear view of what's ahead for the drivers. 


 

  • LED strobe light bars are prohibited from being used in specific circumstances, especially using it for personal vehicles. Its harmful impact on health has been highly suspected by the state, and this is not only confined to strobe lights but a wider range of flashing lights.
