Preparing For The Fall and Winter Emergency Season

Summer has officially ended, and whether you love it or hate it, the upcoming seasons are fraught with unique hazards. Emergency vehicle lights need to be prepared to handle everything from incessant rain to dense fogs and whiteouts. Emergency responders are training for these situations even as you read this. Your emergency vehicles should be prepared just as thoroughly. Not sure what to outfit your vehicles with this season? Here’s a brief rundown.

LED Light Bars:

• The LED light bar is the basic requirement for all emergency vehicles, regardless of the season. Full sized or mini, LED light bars are essential for everyone from first responders to construction vehicles. Light bars are the quintessential symbol of emergency services. Make sure yours are operating properly, are fully powered, and connected to switch panels.

Deck and Dash Lights:

• Deck and dash police lights are perfect for getting your vehicle noticed from every angle. Their small size and unique shape give them the ability to fit in spaces that full sized vehicle warning lights can't. These small deck and dash lights can be positioned in small crevices, allowing your vehicle to be seen through the elements.

Warning Light Sticks:

• Light sticks come in a number of shapes and sizes and can be used for multiple purposes. Small enough to be used with dirt bikes and motorcycles, these lights have up to ten flash patterns and are 100% portable. In the fall and winter seasons, the ability to be easily transferred from vehicles to off-road bikes and motorbikes is crucial!

Police Sirens and Speakers:

• The best police lights in the world won’t get you very far if civilians cannot hear your instructions. Make sure your emergency vehicle is outfitted with quality sirens and speakers. In inclement weather, these can be vital for getting your directions across while your vehicle makes its way to the scene.

Flashers:

• Flashers allow for alternating and simultaneous flashing lightheads. The multiple light flash patterns dramatically increase visibility. The more patterns emergency responders utilize, the more likely civilians are to see you coming from a distance and act accordingly.

Police light accessories are essential year-round, but each serves an especially important purpose during the bad-weather months. Make sure your vehicles are ready and visit our site to fill in any gaps in your equipment.
