I actually picked that up in EVOC. As for the Q, I have always thought it was more effective. Mabey the Q "Rumbler" is? Anyone come across it yet?

Nice Rig, Good luck with it.

Bringing a old topic back but..... The Federal Q is not as effective as a electrical Siren and "WAIL", this was a actual study done by FDNY. Inside a car a Fed Q can be heard 100 Feet Away A Electric Siren and the "Wail" can be heard over 200 feet away

from firehouse.com NIOSH Releases Florida Recruit Death Report Updated: 11-29-2007 04:13:52 PM On Sept. 17, 2005, Kevin Enfinger, 22, collapsed while jogging at the Institute of Public Safety in Tavares, Fla. The recruit, who weighed 304 pounds and had a history of high blood pressure, asthma and a previous heart condition, had received permission from a doctor to participate in the firefighting training. Federal investigators noted: "The physical exertion associated with the Trainee's physical fitness training probably triggered his sudden cardiac death." The probe of the recruit's death was initiated a month shy of the first anniversary of the incident. The class started the day with a timed gear donning drill. After that, they changed into shorts, t-shirts and running shoes. They formed two lines, each line carrying a stretched-out section of dry 2-and-a-half-inch hose line, and began a slow jog. The recruits were spaced about five feet apart. After making the turn to come back to the training area, a distance of 300 to 400 yards, Enfinger collapsed, according to the report. His crew immediately started treatment, and personnel from a fire station across the street responded to assist. Despite the early intervention, including ALS care and 50 minutes of resuscitative effort, Enfinger died. Friends said to combat fatigue, he had been taking vitamins and caffeine pills. However, his drug test was negative. However, several heart defects were discovered during the autopsy. NIOSH investigators suggested that fighters are cleared for duty by a physician knowledgeable about the physical demands of firefighting, the personal protective equipment used by firefighters, and the various components of NFPA 1582. Encourage firefighters to provide accurate medical history information to the fire department physician. Enfinger's death is not included in the U.S. Fire Administration's data base because he was not a member of a fire department. The entire report can be viewed at Here

That is ridiculous! In a hurry to get to work? Whos fault is that? And to say the firefighters need to hurry up. That is what caused it! She was in such a hurry, to probally go flip burgers!?

Unfor. a couple. Its kind of hard not to anymore. Another thing is this has been around for a loooong time. Now everyone is making a big deal about it?
