F5 went to sleep?

Blue is the only color that volunteer firefighters and rescue personal are permitted to use in PA, unless you are brass (chief, asistant chief, etc.).

When I used to run, I didn't bother with the blue lights. As soon as the state police would spot a "blue lighter" coming, they would hit them with radar. Several folks got pegged for speeding tickets on the way to calls. My stealth theory worked and I was never pulled when responding.

Yes, F5 does sleep

state laws vary too much for me....My neighbor is a volunteer fireman and I have helped him wire his lights in his vehicles, and he told me in MI, blue was a no-no for volunteer fireman, only red or amber can be used. In TN, I only saw red, so I assumed it was the law there too.
TN also has a very strict law on strobe lights, they cannot be installed on any non-emergency vehicle, regardless of the strobe color. At a vette rally one day, some guy had strobes going, the Murfreesboro cops cruised in, and gave him a hefty ticket, and not only told him he had to appear in court, but he had to appear to have the car inspected to make sure the strobes had been removed. I checked with my Sheriff friends, and yes, they said that the law was strict in TN, no strobes at all, regardless if they are flashing or not.

I much prefer order so let's make everything a Federal Law

yeah, in TX the laws are diffrent.. If you kill someone we kill you but if you run blue lights and don't abuse them most of the time no one will say anything. Considering all of our fire trucks, EMT units, Cops, ect.. run red / blue but road crew's are Amber only ect...

Alost of the 18 Wheelers that carry gas in TX have Amber Strobes on the back of the truck.

I think here in FL you are asking for a whole lot of trouble if you have any Blue or Red going. I had a truck once and the kids bought me those light for the tire caps, they were blue. In two days I was stoped 3 times for them, the reason I was told is someone may think I am a police and only Police can have blue. I took them off and the kids got them for the bikes.

I have clear strobes all over the 3, But they are used for work.

I don't get it. If you have to obey all traffic laws while responding, what is the purpose of the lights? I always pull over and yield the right of way to ANY emergency vehicle, including volunteers responding to a call. I notice that alot of people don't though. They are either oblivious or they just don't care. Why don't the police nail the asses who don't get out of the way instead of harassing the volunteer? I'd love to see the look on jackass's face when, after ignoring the volunteer with his blue light on, and refusing to let him pass, he turns the corner and sees his own house engulfed in flames with nobody there to put it out. Got marshmallows?
