  Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department
2010 Ford Expedition
( Top )  

The Ridgefield Volunteer Fire Department recently accepted delivery of a 2010 Ford Expedition , Special Services model,  replacing one of two Dodge Ram 1500 pickups built by Specialty Warning Systems in 2005. (This Dodge Ram will continue it's service life following an upgrade, refit and reassignment to the Fire Police)

The audible & visual warning system is 100% Whelen, incorporating (in the front) an FX Freedom lightbar, two eight head red / white Dominators in the grille, M4 Super LEDs on each outer front corner and a headlight flasher. A 295HFS4 controller with secondary amplifier provides dual siren tones to two 100 watt speakers behind the grille. Six LINZ6 LEDs were installed on the side running boards, while another eight head Dominator in the rear cargo window, blue/amber TIR6s on either side of the OEM license plate, red LAW HideAways in the taillights and blue LAW HideAways in the reverse lights complete the rear warning. Two TIR3s, installed in the lower cargo compartment, provide additional rear facing warning when the cargo door is in the raised position, effectively blocking the Freedom bar. Their control is by way of a single switch that simultaneously deactivates the Dominator, protecting the vision of operators working in the rear of the vehicle.

The center console is a 30 inch Havis model, housing the department and fire police radios, Whelen control head, Uniden scanner, dual cup holders, power outlets, driver and passenger side armrests and nine inch storage compartment.

The custom rear Command / Storage Cabinet includes a command drawer with a marking whiteboard and clear overlay, hanging file and storage drawers, open storage for turnout and SCBA and three compartments for extinguishers and similar smaller equipment. Four Super LED compartment lights were installed on the cargo door and inside the cargo compartment, providing supplemental lighting at night.

The graphics package incorporates white reflective safety striping, gold leaf lettering and accents and a red / gold leaf maltese cross.

Redding CT - Police Department
2010 Express / Animal Control Van

( Top )


The Redding CT Police Department recently received a new Chevrolet Express cargo van, assigned to their Animal Control Division, which replaces the previous Ford Explorer.

Lighting needs, while simpler than a standard patrol vehicle, were still an important consideration as the Animal Control Officer operates at all times of day and night in many weather conditions.  As the primary concern was for vehicles approaching from the rear, a Liberty lightbar was installed above the rear cargo doors to provide maximum protection at the back of the vehicle.  It was also reversed and high intensity LED takedown lights installed, to provide rearward area lighting at night.  LIN3s in the grille, LAW2 HideAways in the rear taillights and Sound Off Predator IIs on each front corner, complete the lighting system.

The 18 inch Havis Consolidator console contains the department radios, Havis switch panel, Whelen siren amplifier, portable radio charger and Mag Lite.  Storage cabinetry, a front barrier partition and PacMount tool tracks were all installed in the cargo compartment for stowage of equipment and tools with sufficient space still available for a portable kennel for animal containment.  Whelen M6 LEDs installed in the roof, were integrated with the OEM dome lights to provide additional work lighting inside the vehicle.

A roof mounted ventilation system and fully reflective graphics package complete the outside of the vehicle.

Specialty Warning Systems has provided installation, repair service and upfitting to the Redding Police Department for many years and appreciates the proactive working relationship we have shared with the RPD.

The 24 inch Havis console contains the Whelen SLSA6 system controller, department and County radios, dual cup holders, 12V power outlets and side mounted armrest.  A custom mount for rear portable radio chargers and rechargeable Streamlight was installed in the cargo compartment.
