Same thing I was told by a firefighter in Fredericksburg, Va.
The only one is located about a block away from a new station.
It is on one of the busiest highways in the town. The FF stated
that it responded to the rep rate of the strobe. In fact he said that
one day during check out of the equipment he noticed every car stopped
at the intersection a block away! He then realized he had the strobe running!!
It would be nice if the city would put up more of these, especially on the
main routes to the hospital so that us volunteer ambulance squads can
navigate easier.
