Why not to rubberneck

A firetruck (RE92) provided barrier protection for the involved vehicle and passengers in the Northbound lanes, and a SUV (Safety 9) providing barrier protection in the Southbound lane. All vehicles had on front and rear emergency lights activated, with Safety 9 having a rear mounted high visibility amber LED light bar.
While Safety 9 was stationary with all emergency equipment activated, a vehicle rear-ended the fire apparatus.

The single occupant of the fire apparatus suffered minor injuries, and signed care refusal forms on the scene. The operator of the black Sedan was evaluated by emergency medical personnel and signed care refusal forms on the scene.

The operator of the vehicle hitting Safety 9 stated she was looking at the lights and emergency vehicles on the other side of Three Notch Road before striking the SUV.

Want to start a fight in the firehouse? Say the equipment has too many warning lights.

I passed by that on the way home from my 4 hours at Lowe's yesterday.

Blinded by the lights!

That is a problem.

That is a problem.

Agree. More than once I've come up to a scene with the blue/red lights so bright you cannot see beyond the lights at all, not even the rest of the vehicle the lights are mounted on. They really need a day/night brightness setting.

Same here, but the deputy's vehicle had a white spotlight as bright as the sun shining straight back into oncoming traffic. I couldn't see the lines on the road, nor the traffic coming at me in the opposite lane.
