Disclaimer: This thread involves flashing lights. I know, I know, but please bear with me, it's not the usual crap (at least I hope it's not.)
My department operates a small 19' fire/rescue boat. At the insistance of some of our officers, the warning lights on the boat are red & blue. In this area, red & blue on land vehicles means law enforcement. Most of the boats operated by other FD's in this area have red or red/amber warning lights. Most law enforcement agency vessels have blue lights only.
The point of all this is, I don't want people to confuse us with a law enforcement organization.
So my questions are:
1) Does anyone know what USCG, etc. policy/regulations are for warning lights on vessels operated for fire/rescue services?
2) If your department operates a fire boat, what color are your warning lights?
I hope this doesn't turn into the usual lights discussion. Thanks in advance for your input.
