Sabi ko nga sa earlier post eh pwede naman pag usapan ang mga ganitong issue sa magandang paraan. Hehe. No need to get rash about it guys.
In that light, if we actually took the law to the letter it only says government ambulances and bfp firetrucks and police vehicles. So it means private fire trucks and ambulances are not included in that law. Oh no! Hehe. The private ambulance industry is a fast growing business nowadays, please apprehend us now.
Yes that is the Lifeline spark. It is registered as a private vehicle with the LTO also. The ambucare mystery machine is still in the works but I doubt if it will be a small hatchback considering how overweight most of us are and that we operate in flood prone areas.
Sarap sana magmaneho sa kalsada kung walang pasaway...Sana gawin nilang X50 ang presyo ng mga fines and penalties para magtino lahat...Hirap kasi sa atin kung makakalusot sa mali eh gagawan at gagawan talaga ng paraan...
So pag private firetruck at ambulance eh pwedeng kumuha ng permit at maglagay ng blinkers at wang-wang? Anu-ano kaya mga requirements baka kasi kayo kong tapatan requirements nila eh magpapa-install din ako...
just install one if you really need one. at the end of the day, just be responsible for sa gagawin mo.
katulad ni otep, kung sitahin sya okay lang. kaya nya ipaliwanag.
kung tinging mo kaya mo rin get one.
btw, i dont have blinkers and i dont mind cars or convoy with blinkers. tumatabi ako. di ko naman ikamamatay or malaking kawalan kung di ko pagbigyan. kargo na lang nila kung nanloloko lang sila using their blinkers. i believe in karma.
I work in the volunteer and private services. Wala pong paperworks or permit na pwedeng kuhanin sa local or national government or concerned agencies (LTO/NTC/etc.) regarding the installation of traffic control devices (lights and sirens). Just as what has been said in the previous posts, it is still a 'gray area'. I've been in the industry since 2007 and wala talaga kaming mapuntahan.
Most of our units are also registered under the names of private individuals (e.g. the company president/brigade donor/owner of the fire truck or ambulance/etc.).
And as posted, for our privately owned response and command units (including 2 wheelers) we are more concerned with the vehicles' and operators' safety when stopped and doing their job that's why we prefer vehicles to be prepared with traffic control and scene lighting. Blasting through traffic with lights and sirens isn't really much of our thing. It's a catch 22 anyway. Take too long and the people complain, run it code 3 (light and siren) and someone complains also. hehe.

Me during a big fire along Araneta/E.Rod talking to the EMS Unit regarding a patient. Yes, I arrived code 3 on my own vehicle since our trucks and ambulances were coming from Manila and I was coming from Q.C. That's my vehicle in the background. Given a choice I would have preferred to run it with one of our brigade units. But situations are less than ideal and sometimes you have to make do with what you have just to get your a$$ on the scene:
More Volunteers with traffic control equipment (ipahuli niyo na lang kung ayaw niyo ang serbisyo nila). hehe.

Motorcycle crash along Commonwealth Avenue. Our unit was still at a flower offering at a funeral chapel so I ran the call. They were already on scene when this photo was snapped:

Fire call at Addition Hills. I was in San Juan on my way to Greenhills SC when a call to verify (so that trucks can be dispatched) came in. Here is my vehicle arriving:
And this is what I saw:

madami talaga abusado sa wangwang pero for me, pag may wangwang, tumatabi ako out of courtesy kahit sa ambulance pa ng punenarya.
minsan talaga nakakainis tulad ng kanina. Ambulance ng hospital, pa u-turn na ako sa edsa q. Ave tapos may padating na ambulance. akala nya ata tutuloy ako kaya nag highbeam and nag short shot ng wangwang. pinadaan ko lang kaya nga lang nainis lang ako kasi lumiko lang siya papuntang drive thru ng mcdo... mga abusado talaga... haay :-(
atleast those volunteers are doing something for our people and country while you guys saying "daang matuwid" at sumunod sa batas aren't doing anything but whine.:cry2: with out the volunteers tingnan natin kung ano mang yari sa bansa natin, di naman kaya ng governemnt natin rumisponde sa lahat ng emergency. actually mas nakaka tulong pa mga volunteers kesa sa mga tao ng government na dapat sila ang gumawa non at madalas mas qualified pa sila, pati pag tiningnan mo yung mga government ambulance pa ang abusado sa wang wang mga volunteers pag may emergency lang talaga. so have a little respect for them. kung gusto mo bumili at mag kabit ng wang wang di bumili ka kesa nag rereklamo kayo dito eh wala naman kayo natutulong. para kayong mga leftist na panay reklamo pero wala naman ginagawa para maka tulong. jan kasi kayo magaling mag reklamo pero mga wala naman silbi.![]()
