    I don’t think you are correct - The PD has no such traffic light control here in Shreveport. I believe that the police car was just responding the the fire.

    the cop was actully an escort. in bigger citys, traffic lights have “rattle lights” or these blue strobes that flash and put full red on the traffic lights. the older engine wouldnt have been able to trigger it because of its age. however, the newer police interceptor has the switch and therefore could, we get escorts for our one engine because we have this problem

    Gotta love how at about 2:00, that one car just keeps on trucking through the intersection in front of them. Love how the morons in America fail to yield to emergency vehicles, yet want to complain all the time how “it took them forever to get here”
