Hey Cody... I would say go ahead and finish your training before you buy a blue light. I know the whole experience is really exciting right now and you probably want to put as many blue lights on your PV as possible... trust me... I was the same way. Just take it easy for now and see what else is out there as far as blue lights go... see what ya like before you buy anything. Why spend the money now when you cant use it just yet?
No disrespect here brother... just trying to offer some advice cuz I was in the same boat as you when I got on a few years back.
lmao dude. haha. i just did that to piss em off. maybe itll werk. lol. mines just a minitor V. its like a week old cuz the county just updated to the new high-band radio system. u menioned sumthin about a radio?? why do u have one?? for us, just the line officers, ems capt, saftey officer, fire police, and each air pack has a radio. u must be special. but there is a radio for all of the juniors on out new/old juniors truck (lol). we get all the old crappy ones tho
awwwh that blows. im sorry to hear that =(. we dont get wildfires up my way lol. my company just had a fire too. a wiring harness was rubbing up against the steering column in one of our pumpers nd that caused a short then uuhhoohhhh. so we only got about 375g from the insurance company. =/

but just message me if you need any help. :)
