Response lights (Green) for Firefighters own cars and trucks!

Over in my area this is a well talked about topic, Green responce lights on Firefighters cars to respond to the fire hall in the event of a call. Noone whould ever speed to get to their fire hall but i know everone has been stuck behind that one person that is driving ridiculously slow, and i just want to get feedback on this topic; if anyone thinks its a good idea, or if some firefighters already have these?

In Nebrsaka, we can use red or red/blue lights on our POV and a siren. The only thing is, if you have your lights on,,,your siren is too. Our use of lights requires the same responsibility as a fire apparatus, ambulance, or police car,,,driving with DUE REGUARD. We also have to have a red light permit signed by the fire chief and the Sarpy County Sherriff's Office.

p.s.
yes we get to proceed through traffic lights after clearing the intersection.
