Dont you think that if we are on the fire dept we should be able to speed somewhat if we have a light in our vehical?! I mean the longer it takes to get to the station the longer its going to take to get to the sceen.
My department frowns on this because of the liability issues. I do have a green light in my truck and yes...i may go 5 over the limit but that is about it. There have been times WSP has attempted to pull members over enroute to calls or they get a hold of my fire chief and have a little chat about the membrs speeding POV. Also, with our insurance, the department is liable from the time we call enrout to the time we go home.
