  • Patent number: 8425098
    Abstract: A light bar for use on firefighting or other emergency vehicles includes an elongate base that provides a versatile mounting platform for primary visual and audible warning devices as well as providing a mounting platform for other types of equipment such as secondary visual and audible devices, optical devices, cameras, weather monitoring equipment, GPS devices, preemption devices, running lights and other devices that have been traditionally mounted on a firefighting or emergency vehicle roof and/or other exterior surface area of the emergency vehicle. The light bar is versatile in both allowing many different types of equipment to be selectively mounted and adjustably positioned on the base, and on pairs of support plates that are attachable to the opposite ends of the base and provide support for different combinations of signal lights and other equipment.
