I was told that you are only authorized to use a blue light when responding to a call but I wanted to know if i was driving and witnessed an accident and stopped to help until fire/ems arrive can I turn on my blue light to alert other traffic? Thanks in advance for you input.

No, take the light out of your vehicle immediately, place it in a metal container, add an accelerant, and kill it with fire.IAFF -

Further, make it a large container and consider jumping in with it.Originally posted by snowball View Post"Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"

And if you can't take a little ribbing, maybe you should get out of the fire service.Originally posted by aclem10408 View Post
Continuing.....removing the light and running it over at least 71 times with a steam roller should also suffice."Loyalty Above all Else. Except Honor."Comment

This is great. We are breaking ground with a blue light question here. I wonder why it has never come up before?
ASK YOUR CHIEF. You are on a fire department right?Last edited by LVFD301; 12-30-2010, 10:35 PM.Comment

Ok, I just looked at this again. You stopped to help until fire/ems arrives? So you are NOT on a department?Originally posted by aclem10408 View Post
Get rid of the light. You will be noticed, people will ask about the light, know you are not on a department, and you will be visiting with the state police.
Even if you are not "driving" with it, just sitting on the side of the road. They will probably go after criminal impersonation charges.Comment
