Highway Stripes

[BedfordFire 7]

What are the departments around our area that use "highway stripes" on their rigs? Also, what is everyone's opinion of them? Are they useful and effective?

I know Fairview added them to their rigs within the past year...not sure what anyone's opinion of them is

In Pleasantville, we have them on the back of our 2 new rigs and they are great. You can see the trucks a 1/2 mile away without the lights on. Great for parkway or highways. I think a must have for that type of response.

Saw this one yesterday - gotta say, it would be hard as hell to miss them, but you know someone will...not to mention the giant yellow truck!!

It is a very good safety item. They have been proven to help save lives by provideing more visibility.

Ron Moore has a lot of information on this. He can be found on www.

Fairview has them on E 174and 175 and Rescue 3.

Montrose has them on a few rigs, like them alot, depending on the color. I think it should also compliment the paint scheme.

Yes, looks horrible but does the job!

I'd have to side with SAFETY vs. Pretty.

I can't say it looks too good, but they sure caught my eye, at least in the pics.

they may catch the eye but the important thing is to use a rig as a block!!!
