I very well could be the only one who DIDN'T know this, but thought I'd pass it on, just in case.
"As you may be aware, on November 24, 2008, a new federal regulation (23 CFR 634) goes into effect mandating that anyone working in the right-of-way of a federal-aid highway must be wearing high-visibility clothing that meets the requirements of ANSI / ISEA 107; 2004 edition class 2 or 3. This requirement will apply to all emergency responders.
The Code of Federal Regulations Title 23 (Highways) Part 634 was originally published in the Federal Register Vol 71, No 226, pp 67792 - 67800. The Rule itself (634.3) simply states that:
'All workers within the right-of-way of a Federal-aid highway who are exposed either to traffic (vehicles using the highway for purposes of travel) or to construction equipment within the work area shall wear high-visibility safety apparel.'"

If anyone is interested.
At the last Bradford County Fire Chiefs Meeting I announced that I am working on a goup purchase for these vests. So far, Canton/Troy,Herrickville and Ridgbury is going together of order a little over 100 of them. I am working with 3 different venders to secure the style and prices.
Feel free to call me if you want in on the deal---570-506-6223

Hey, does anyone out there have a sample or picture of the 28" collapsible cones that will soon be mandated to be carried by each rig?

The rumors we have heard is that each piece of apperatus that responds will be required to carry 5 cones each 28in high. Our dept (Litchfield) is looking into purchasing collapsible cones due to limited compartment space. I believe these are similar to what we are looking at. www.edarley.com/finditem/25290
