- The City of Smyrna Fire Department recently purchased this 2001 Ford
Ranger. Boy it sure is "Fire Engine Red!" This
truck is assigned to the assistant fire chief. The department
contacted us about outfitting the truck with emergency equipment.
We sat down with them and here's what we offered them: they did
not want a lightbar, so we maintained the "slick-top" look
with Whelen hide-a-way strobes in the front turn signals, rear brake lights, and reverse lights. We also installed a
pair of Whelen compact grille strobes. Both the rear and front
strobes are powered by Whelen SPS660 power supplies. We also
installed a Whelen headlight flasher to give the added
"punch" that is necessary when clearing traffic. The
assistant chief already had a Whelen Slimlighter on the top of the
windshield and we wired it into the front strobes switch. The
assistant chief also had a Streamlight Stinger flashlight we mounted
in the truck. The department already had a Motorola C-9
Spectra with the Systems 9000 siren that was removed from another
vehicle. We installed the Spectra as well as a VHF mobile, both
with permanent antennas, at the time we installed all of the emergency
warning equipment. (Note the cool look we obtained by using
custom antennas rather than the plain, standard chrome antennas
"radio shop" offers.) The department wanted the
antennas as close together as possible, and the VHF radio will be seldom
used, so interference was not a concern with the proximity of the two
antennas. We also installed a 100 watt Motorola siren speaker
that is wired to the Systems 9000 siren. As with several of our
customers, the customer wanted to
keep the vehicle clean and free of all switch boxes. Our
suggestion? C-Comm 911 offered a custom OEM look-alike switch
package for the hide-a-way strobes, headlight flasher, and the dash
light. (See the awesome job we did in the picture below!)
As always, C-Comm 911 used our custom built fused power distribution
center.
