In new jersey, are laws regarding volunteers POV's are from the 1970's. I recently spoke with our state senator and he will back my plan to try and update these laws. As it stands right now, only chiefs are allowed to have sirens. If regular firefighters were allowed to have sirens, it would allow us to have a greater presence on the roads, which would mean that it would lessen our chances of a MVA. If we were to be allowed to have sirens there would be EXTREMELY tough consequences for people that abuse the privilege of having the sirens. Not only am I going to try to get that passed, but in the same legislative package I will try to have the law changed, so that the we will also be allowed to drive code three, and again the consequences of abusing that privilege will be as severe as with the siren. If this does pass and become law, it will shave seconds and in some instances minutes off of the response times of the volunteers. Please respond to my blog, and would be much appreciated if new jersey Fire Fighters add their recommendations, and dislikes of what I am planning to present to the New Jersey legislature. Thank you
