What a great light!!

Wow! What a colossal waste. Hope this is photo trick and not real. What, no electronic sirens? Do they have any side-facing lights where it is really important to have them? When it comes to sirens and lights, I'm sure MHFD overlooks nothing. I haven't seen a side shot of this truck, but I think, g...

It's usually when they aren't on the street. Yep, Emer...
