Welcome to First City of Vincent Council Meeting
As you are all aware, on Friday 1 July 2011, the Town of Vincent formally became a City.
May I welcome you all to the first City of Vincent Council Meeting.
City of Nedlands Ranger Vehicle - Stunning! For those who are interested, the stripping is one of three designs that have been registered by WA Rangers association for the use with council Ranger Vehicles.
Have recently seen a silver Ford Territory with LED Lightbar and an antenna mounted on the roofrack. Not sure if its a Canning Ranger vehicle but have a feeling it may be. No markings to speak of.
I fully support the Rangers jobs and they can have pink and green flashing lights for all I care whatever keeps them safe but I'd find it hard to justify sirens.
I believe a similar case is the Transit guards that have magenta lights but no siren?

Priority 3 was granted for the purpose of enforcing the Control of Vehicles (Off-road Areas) Act 1978. Motorbikes and other vehicles illegally driving on reserves and other prohibited areas etc i believe.
Lights and siren only to be used when pulling over a vehicle. Or 'in order to prevent injury to persons near the vehicle' (e.g. at traffic accidents).
Many local govt rangers have red/blue due to their involvement in fire control, the Department of Transport's own guide for installation and use of warning lamps says that rangers are entitled to red lights...

Technically magenta. Only to be activated when the vehicle is stationary. As for the colour of the plastic covers on the light bars... well, that's always been a matter of individual interpretation,

No onion, no garlic, no chilli, no pepper... NO POINT!!
Red (P2) on the deltas would be understandable as magenta (P3) is only for pulling over vehicles for the purpose of inspection, as per Transport's warning lamps guide, apparently?
Personally i think they should have P1 the job they do is tip top and definitely a necessity!

Yes, but only in very specific circumstances... "In some Local Government Districts the Ranger is also the first response officer for bush fires. These vehicles may utilise a red flashing lamp when carrying out these fire response duties. However the approval for fitment and use of these red lamps is based on written confirmation being first obtained from the Fire and Emergency Services Authority that the Ranger is in fact a Fire Response officer. Approval is also conditional upon vehicle users having completed an approved training course in operation of the relevant category of emergency vehicle."
