Yeesh! Talk about siren usage overload!!!

What are your favorite emergency vehicle headlight patterns? Mine are the regular alternate flashes from the inner left/right, both sets of lights flashing left/right, and the setting where there's several rounds of alternating flashes, an almost slight pause, then a FLASH FLASH of both the left &am...

Once within the last 2-3 months I had seen not 1, not 2, not even 3 police vehicles going to an emergency, there were 5 of them, and I even saw a SWAT vehicle being used as well at some point last year I believe.

I rarely hear Hi-Lo on any of the sirens that Aberdeen, SD's emergency vehicles use, but I love the fact that I live close to the main fire department in downtown Aberdeen.
