I've been waiting for this for a while. About the blinding of other drivers, alot of new trucks built are so loaded with led warning lights do you really thing hid headlights are going to blind them. I Also have a few questions; Most trucks have wigwags installed in them, can you do this with HIDS? Is that the only style of HIDS you can get or are there others.

The mutuals antique is a 1927 American LaFrance pumper. They donated it to the state museum in 1988 i believe. I have photos and will post them soon. I visted the museum in march.

Let me rewrite a little bit of sages response. I am also from New Fairfield and i believe he ment to say bring your turnout gear with you but MUST wear a Life Vest at all time while on one of our boats. I'm sure thats what he ment. Now I personally have seen not only firefighters wearing turnout gear while on a boat but as well as an airpack! You want to talk about anchor!!!!!!!
