C.F.D

I remember someone posting a video on youtube about how the CHP does a serpentine maneuver with the directional bar on and basically the unit weaves across all lanes and slows down traffic, usually because of high density traffic, or a construction zone.

Its called Round Robin; Its to slow down traffic and to alert drivers that there is a pursuit ahead, or a serious accident.

I got it... checking it out now.

Im sorry, Sorry, i thought this was the Project Reality Thread! LOL! Yeah, Go ahead and delete it. RIP Long History of Tony'lights.

It is not dead. You are not the one thats making the sub-Mod, only me. Read what newfoundlandking stated.

It looks neat, Im interested in getting this...but question, do you have to be a first Responder in real life to get it or anybody can get it?

Why do i laugh at Female Rights.

Cool, but the lights could be better

Nonetheless, good job.

Really like the unmarked one....post a video.

Wow, i never seen that before!

OMG fascinating,I think most of these are probably made in China.

Police in Guangzhou China use these on their hondas

Looks like an Arjent.

Not every job needs to be Army, guys....Provide Civilian jobs as well...

Oh my gosh I hated rappeling because I was doing it on our tower with a substandard rope, it snapped and I fell and broke both my legs (1 was a compund with the bone sticking out) and a few ribs and it hurt a lot. After that we now have department requlations banning nylon of almost all types.

I'm sorry for giving you flashbacks....

As you know every fire has its color or better said consists of a whole range of colors. The colors not only tell us something about the burning substance but also are very closely related to the heat of a fire. For example a red fire can have a temperature between 977°F (525 °C) with a just visible red and 1830 °F (1000 °C), a cherry, clear red.

Also smoke has a color which can tell you a lot about the elements making up the smoke you see. And as any smoke can be very heavily toxic it is important to be able to distinguish different shades of color. At different stages of a fire the smoke color changes and therefore it is important for a firefighter to be able to interpret colors appropriately.

This are only two reasons why good color vision can help you to be a professional firefighter.

I found this story about someone who is Colorblind:

I’ll give you a bit of history on myself. I have recently taken schooling to become a firefighter, and seem to have run into a wall due to a color deficiency which I have. Funny things is I went to an ophthalmologist about 2 years ago and was cleared for the D-15 test with 0 errors.

But the next time I took it I convinced myself that it was suppose start with blue and end in green as the doctor did not say it was to fade into red. For some reason thats what I thought it was the last time I took, while I was doing it though I knew it was incorrect. When the doctor pulled it from me obviously it was horribly wrong. So he sent me for further testing during which i did D-100 plus lantern. The D-100 I used one eye at a time and it was difficult. End result I have been diagnosed with severe color blindness. And yet I can do the D-15 online with 0 errors and the confusion test with decent results as well as 1 wrong in ten.

Wondering where you might recommend getting some solid answers as there seems to be a lot of ignorance in the medical field and the fire department. I went through fire school with no problem, as well as the rest of the courses I took with no problems what so ever, and now they tell me that my colorblindness is a hazard. Anyway, right now I am quite frustrated and looking for answers as this is what I want to do—yet I feel that I being discriminated based on ignorance of color blindness.

Now this sounds pretty unfair. You accomplish everything just perfectly and only your color blindness should disqualify you to become a firefighter?

Well, obviously you won't be a painter or interior decorator. And you wouldn't want to be an electrician, or a police officer, a soldier, paramedic, firefighter either. For the most part though, very few careers are eliminated because of color blindness. You will have already adapted to it, and are aware of your own limitations- so you can always make adjustments for the odd situation when color determination is important.

Pilots need to know whether other aircraft or coming towards or going away from them at night. They do this by knowing that planes have a different colored wing light on the left compared to right wing.

Cops would have a hard time identifying subjects if they couldn't rely on the color of their clothing. Your "blue" shirted bank robber might be wearing gray, or blue and green stripes, according to your description.

But there are still lots of other career options that are not color critical, and you will be able to adapt for those few situations when color becomes an issue. Not really a big deal.

I'm Deaf here, and according to NFPA Health Standards, i can't join a Fire Department because i wear Hearing Aids...Well guess what? I joined the Calgary Fire Department and became the FIRST Deaf Junior Firefighter/Fire Cadet. After several years of struggling, i got in. Next step: Firefighter

Its my dream to become a Paid Firefighter /Volunteer Firefighter.

When i got in at first, when CFD found out for sure that I have a hearing ‘disability’ its just pure insensitivity, almost like they are trying to test me to be able to say I can’t do the job. They will turn their backs when talking, make me have to have them repeat themselves, which they give me a look, or lately if i ask if they can repeat it they yell “never mind I’ll just do it”. Its like “Um I can do it.”

But now, i have alot more respect from CFD, and i have alot of pride being with CFD as Fire Cadet. Things is now alot easier because they adapted to socialize and to work with/around me. I'm blessed.

There are only couple hundreds of Deaf Firefighters in North America (525 million people lives in North America). One of them is a Fire Chief now. Another one is a Paramedic/Firefighter. The list goes on. They're heroes because they busted their balls off just to land the position as a Firefighter, after fighting the challenges and restrictions thanks to the fitly NFPA So I'm busting my ass off to make sure my dream comes true.

I know there are people out there who believe deaf and hard of hearing people have no place in the fire service or other careers. But hello, common decency anyone? It’s this sort of infantile behavior that reinforces the notion that emergency responders are a good ol’ boy network. I’m fortunate that I haven’t seen this in my current department.

This applies to both firefighters and deaf people alike. Even if you don’t agree with what a person represents, treating them in a way less than you would treat your own neighbor only serves to dehumanize you.

So Regardless what other people or organization says about restriction, i say screw em, and be the possible of the impossible.

Me Rappelling down.

^ What he said.

That list in the old suggestions topic is kinda old, some things are possible to add now. K9 is nice, but since I have the armed arrest script it wouldn't be really useful.

I'd rather use a Dog than a gun *wink*

Curious, are you gonna try out k9 now? Lol. Since NY Modification did it, why don't you attempt at it?

Personally I hate the Arjent, but to each there own. I havent seen the MX7000 LED versions.

Lol, most of the favorites happens to be Whelen Liberty Bar.

Anyway mine would be Whelen liberty and Federal Signal Arjent, and Mx7000/LED.

Novius, check out this video of a LAPD Traffic stop:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcIhIPgfL0g

You'll see RED and BLUE hide-a-way lights installed in the headlights.

I AM OFFICIALLY RENAMING THIS SUB MOD TO : PROJECT REALITY LIGHTS. (( I WOULD LIKE AN ADMINISTRATOR TO CLOSE THIS TOPIC, AND GRANT ME RIGHTS ON MY NEW TOPIC. I WILL CREATE A TEAM OF FOUR, BECAUSE WHEN 1.9 COMES OUT, ALL LIGHTS WILL BE BASED OFF LAPD, LAFD AND CITY FIRST RESPONDERS BASED. NO MORE CHRISTMAS TREE, ITS NOW REALITY TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND THANK YOU FOR USING THIS SUBMOD! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PART OF IT, PM ME!))

Right, i thought you meant Emergency Lights Hazards. I'll check it out.

Forgive me Mike, but i am going to ask one more question regarding Hide-A-Way Lights, since i can't find a post or topic about it...

Since the LAPD are using Hide-a-Way lights, to my knowledge, i see them using it for the headlights, but are they using it for rear hazards? Have they installed the Hide-A-Way package into the brake dome?

I don't even have a knowledge or a clue how to "Alter the command of the units". Is it too much to ask that you don't be insular?

I removed the CHP Charger's Emergency Lights Hazard Lights because in real life, they don't have any. I am now shifting towards Real life Based lights from the LAPD and LAFD. Also, i never edited the EMS CV. I will check out the BC SUV and CHP CV.

Thank you for telling me that i uploaded the Port Police Prototype, my mistake, here is the correct version:
