Ambulance 6-3 responding with Engine and Tower 6 to a fire alarm. Usually, we don’t go on fire alarms, but at this facility, the fire alarms and lifeline alarms are the same alarm. It’s a frequent visit, and of three of these calls since Sunday, this is the first good video. Good practice for driving, though.

has a Reserve Tanker, and Leesburg (Co 1) has a Reserve Truck (their Truck is a tiller and the RT is not). It’s like in PW Co they have “Engine 501A” and “Engine 501B”, same idea. That help?

NH, MA, VT, and I …
NH, MA, VT, and I believe CT allow any (approved) fire/ EMS personnel to run red, white, amber lights, etc. Including sirens. From the entry level probie, to the chief, it doesn’t matter, and it makes you technically an emergency vehicle. State and Local Police agencies, aside from Public Safety departments(R/B), and forestry (R/B) run strictly blue lights

Yes, it goes state-by-state. As I recall, blue is a courtesy color in several states in the Northeast, where all emergency vehicles use red, clear, and amber, including the police. Here in the Southeast, blue is only used for law enforcement, which can also mix in other colors. Fire and EMS are restricted to red, clear, and amber.
