Fire Brigade

Lighting of Vehicles.—A recommendation by the Chief Officer of the Fire Brigade has been approved, that the vehicles of the Fire Brigade, while attending or returning from fires at night, should use side lamps showing a green light in front. It has been suggested that this measure will enable the Police to identify a fire engine at a corfsiderable distance, or in congested traffic, so as to afford ample time in which to make the requisite clearance of traffic.

Instructions have been issued accordingly to embody the details of this arrangement in the Traffic Regulations.
