I am with Big Moe Love those “888” lights really clears traffic and it’s been a huge tradition amongst many departments in the South Suburbs.

Oh that’s right, the 888 will do all the work! Who cares about the lights? They do look cool but, that is about it……and they are a waste of money$$$$$.

When will it be in service?

I like the concept. Is there a main hose bed up there? They could probably use a long hand rail parralel to those steps to get to the coffin compartments. Anyway, you can’t go wrong with twin “888” lights on the bumper.
