It always seemed to me like a strange color for a emergency vehicle, but is suppose it is unusual and as such is more likely to catch someones attention and that is what matters. And it is strange that everyone in NFL can run blue lights. And thanks squamishfire, it seems really strange that volunteers in BC can't have any lights. Bowen Island, B.C uses 4 way flashers for Volunteer Firefighters' private cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard of courtesy lights being used in Newfoundland And Labrador, but no mention of them being blues. Mind telling me where you got your info from, and having a link for it if possible please?

Hi there. I haven't been able to find any piece of info about Volunteers Firefighters in Newfoundland And Labrador using blue lights. Can you send a link about it somewhere please? And are the blue lights courtesy lights? Also nothing for Volunteers in Nova Scotia, reds and sirens for chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
