After the first few tries, it isn’t so hard to back them in strait, especially with the lines. When I used to drive ambulance/heavy rescue, all of our vehicles had a parabolic mirror angled down, where we could pick up the rear tire, and the line. All we had to do was line everything up and back strait in.

What does it display and how does it work?
Our fire station had a rotating red light and mechanical siren hanging over the middle of the street in front of the station.
It was activated from a black button on the wall.
It functioned for 90 seconds, I believe.
During an elementary school class visit, a boy pressed the button.
It could not be canceled!
To prevent needless traffic back-up on the busy four lane street, I ran outside to direct traffic to proceed.
It’s just a …

I believe the yellow lights flash almost all the time, but may switch off when the red sign (Possibly light, I can’t tell) comes on. That’s how a lot of stuff around here works.

Yes.
But how does it work?
Yellow lights flash 24 hours and middle sign illuminates when fire trucks are responding?
Or was it activated and flashing, otherwise no flashing lights when not?

My bet is that, like most others, it will turn red and stop traffic to allow the fire trucks the right of way when getting on the road.

When your house catches on fire… you see just how amazing the things we do are… When your wife or kids are stuck in a car that’s seconds from exploding, and we manage to pull them out just before the car catches fire, that my friend… will actually blow your mind. Perhaps you don’t have a youtube video because your too stupid to post it?
