I dispise BLUE lights! That being said I do have on in my car for when I arrive on a scene and am off duty. Prior to getting my FT job as a medic I was a vol deputy Cheif w/ our EMS company and had red lights and siren in my truck. When ever I used my lights I used my siren as well per company SOG as well as the state (dont remember the statute sorry).

Untill this past sunday morning when we got tagged for a 34 y/o F cardiac arrest and the ONLY medic in the county was 10miles away when it went out I have not used my light in close to a year and a half. I used it (figureing it was a feutile effort) that morning reluctantly and people ended up moving. I beat the first medic unit but not BLS. I did not speed once, run a light or stop sign or drive agressivly, in fact I didn't want to get their first.

I have seen LOTS of wackers in their first couple of years gettin a hard on for their blue lights, spending hundreds of dollars on stupid shit they dont need, to each their own.
It is appreciated by the users of said light that you move but if it is your decision to not move don't say a word about how long it takes for the emergency vehicle takes to get to your emergency!

ok... I'm done now, will get off the soap box.
