Who is "we"? In 1981, the North Americans mostly had "gumballs" and lightbars, the rest of the world mostly had single lens beacons, and Aussie and NZ had a mixture. Ever been to MOTAT? I'm glad the NZFS did their own thing rather than copying the US or the UK, it means we have an incredible variety of equipment for such a small country. But I'm getting tired of this pointless little argument. Daring to be different from the US isn't a crime, but the way YouTubers go on, you start to wonder...

Wrong. they were not standard equiptment around the world in the 70's and 80's. We had gumballs back then, E.g. Michigan State Tropers.

Those small beacons were standard equipment on most "fire trucks" around the world in the 70s and early 80s. I don't control how the NZFS fits out their "appliances", or what they call them, so if you don't like these vids, you're more than welcome to look elsewhere.

Could they have put smaller light beacons on that Mack Aerial? There are goal lights in the NHL areans that are brighter then that. I am really struggling to enjoy any "appliance" from NZ. Small little European toy trucks with weird sirens, whimpy horns and weak light beacons. Give me a huge North American Fire Truck with a horn and light show to match. Oh, and they're not appliances, they're fire trucks. An appliance is something you plug into your wall like a dishwasher.

Yeah Melbourne's appliances are quite similar to ours in graphics etc. No real need for aerials out in the 'burbs or rural areas, all ours are based in the built-up or industrial areas in the bigger cities.

That Mack looks weird full stop, LOL! NZ fire trucks are kinda halfway between American and European ones, so they look weird to everyone!
