No they're not. Some firefighter in Montana said that the red lights on a POV does not make POVS emergency vehicles.

Ok, thx.

Is there a limit or cap to the number of MPFD Firefighters or MPPD Police Officers available? Like, 6 officers available for one shift for example? Why are they only 4 Firefighters for MPFD, and why are they only available in the day? I think they should be available 24/7.

This guy right here in the link below is a Volunteer Firefighter in Montana. He confirmed that POVS are NOT emergency vehicles. No sirens. Just red courtesy lights. N150CZ - YouTube

There is a firefighter in Montana. I talked to him on YouTube, and he said that POVS are not emergency vehicles, the red POV lights are just courtesy, they can't break any road rules, and no one has to stop for them. I know that the MPFD Fire Chief has a red rotating light and s siren on his pickup. Is it a POV too? Because if it is, it still won't count as an emergency vehicle.

I know there is already a post for POV Laws, but that is mostly for American States, and a few Canadian Provinces were included. In this post, I will give you an updated version of Canadian POV Laws. Note that all of the information you'll see here is up to the best of my knowledge. British Columbia: Absolutely nothing. No sirens, no lights (emergency or courtesy) for all ranks, including chiefs. Alberta: Green courtesy lights, no sirens. You don't have to pull over, they can't break normal traffic rules, but it would be nice of you to move aside. This applies to all ranks. Saskatchewan (my Province of residence, yayyy): Red or Red and Blue lights and sirens (Since April 1, 2009). They can break traffic laws, you must get out of the way, and they are emergency vehicles under Saskatchewan Provincial Law. This applies to all ranks. Manitoba: Same as Saskatchewan, but only red lights without sirens for POVs. Ontario: See Alberta Quebec: See Alberta Prince Edward Island: Red courtesy lights, no sirens. You don't have to pull over, they can't break normal traffic rules, but it would be nice of you to move aside. This applies to all ranks. Newfoundland And Labrador: Red lights and sirens for the chief of a volunteer fire department, nothing at all for everyone else (deputy chiefs, assistant chiefs, captains, lieutenants, firefighters, etc.) Pulling over for anyone other than the chief is not mandatory, but it is mandatory to pull over for the red lights and sirens of the chief. Nova Scotia: Red lights and sirens for the chief and deputy chief of a volunteer fire department, nothing at all for everyone else. (captains, lieutenants, firefighters, etc.) Pulling over for the chief and deputy chief is mandatory, but not for anyone else. New Brunswick: See British Columbia. Nunavut: Same as 2009-2022 Saskatchewan. Northwest Territories: Unknown (No info available) Yukon: Absolutely nothing. No sirens, no lights (emergency or courtesy) for all ranks, including chiefs.

Hi there. I haven't been able to find any piece of info about Volunteers Firefighters in Newfoundland And Labrador using blue lights. Can you send a link about it somewhere please? And are the blue lights courtesy lights? Also nothing for Volunteers in Nova Scotia, reds and sirens for chiefs.

So the original version of the mod is unavailable now? Like, there's no archive for it? And say it's archived, could it be downloaded?

@Fred03 I haven't heard of anything about blues being used as courtesy lights. I heard of courtesy lights being used in Newfoundland And Labrador, but no mention of them being blues. Mind telling me where you got your info from, and having a link for it if possible please?

Hello. Where did you get that info, where blues are permitted in Newfoundland And Labrador? Are blues courtesy lights there?

Idk if this works, but I got it from the internet. 1 406-444-3780

In the old mod, when the Chief actually stayed at the station, and when there's no limit to how many cops you could buy ($25 in game money), the POVS had no lights or sirens at all (maybe cuz the chief in the old version hated POV lights lol). I'm pretty sure they were the fastest land vehicles in the mod lmao. If you do decide to add a control panel command that will enable or disable POV sirens, are you also thinking of making a control panel command that enables or disables red POV lights too? I haven't been able to get Em4 for myself, but I do watch EM4 vids on YT. Yes, the Montana mod is a great mod.

You sir are a blessing! A million thanks to you. Shame POVS in Montana aren't legally considered as emergency vehicles. But please do contact MHP when you can. But as I've said, you are a blessing. A million thanks to you.

Actually, it's either at the front or top of the privately owned vehicle. Nothing about the sides or back, though you could get away with it if you're brave enough to use loopholes

Ironically enough, the chief gets to have a siren and a red rotating roof light on his POV. Just something I wanted to point out. Does Montana State Law even allow chiefs to use sirens in addition to red lights in POVs? Ik NY State does, but there's nothing helpful for Montana.

For Montana State Statute 61-9-227, they said POV lights are red, and emergency lights are red. But authorized emergency vehicles must use lights and sirens. So maybe POVS are emergency vehicles, maybe not.

I suggest contacting a Montana traffic lawyer, a cop, firefighter, or even a State government official, someone who may have an idea on the status of POVS.

The Montana government website said that every authorized emergency vehicle shall be equipped by visual and audible warning devices. This is mentioned in Section 2a of Montana State Statute 61-8-402 . But only red lights are mentioned on POVS as per Montana State Statute 61-9-227. So maybe they're not emergency vehicles??? https://leg.mt.gov/bills/mca/title_0610/chapter_0090/part_0040/section_0020/0610-0090-0040-0020.html https://leg.mt.gov/bills/mca/title_0610/chapter_0090/part_0020/section_0270/0610-0090-0020-0270.html

Bowen Island, B.C uses 4 way flashers for Volunteer Firefighters' private cars.

I was wondering, are POVS in Montana considered as emergency vehicles? I've been hounding the emergency vehicles definition in Montana State Law, but it's not being helpful!

Saskatchewan-Red lights and siren. P.S: I thought Ohio did use lights and sirens for POVs. Very weird

I live in Saskatchewan. We use red lights and sirens for Volunteer Firefighter POVs, and they are EMERGENCY VEHICLES. But your particular Municipality must designate POVs as such in a bylaw (optional). If your Municipality says yes, it then falls on the chief's responsibility to decide who out of all the individual firefighters gets approval to use the lights and sirens in their car, and who doesn't. You must pass a SEVO (Saskatchewan Emergency Vehicle Operators) course. Pass all 3 steps, you can fit your car with reds and sirens! P.S: Rank is irrelevant here! It's down to the municipality, then the chief if municipality says yes, then pass a SEVO if the chief blesses you! If your municipality does NOT make a bylaw designating POVs as emergency vehicles, then this is not permissible.
