Here we go again another group of Firefighters looking for a Free Payday alleging the sirens on fire trucks have effected there hearing .
Total Complete horse shit .
Not to say it is not impossible but if thats the case why have more firefighters not filed suit including volunteers.
Why have these firefighters only filed against the truck builders and not the city like any other person would yes it all comes down to someone looking for a pay day.
yes sirens ae noisy but many times firefighters have radio headsets on to help minimize the noise or put in earplugs or have there tight nomex fire resistant hood on to help block the noise which is 5-10 minutes or less most times couple times a day .This comes no where near what OSHA mandates when protection needs put on .
Most firetrucks also have the sirens in front of truck so main blast is away from you. some have them on the hood so yes you may get some extra noise but enough to damage your ears maybe if your standing on back of the truck but not these guys there down in the cab . Plus ask your self this Police and Medics are subjected to loud sirens much more than firefighters they run many more calls why have they not filed suit against ambulance and police car makers. yes when you look thru all the details I reject the whole thing not to say that it could not happen but highly unlikely unless your with station 17 who runs the most calls in the city. than you could make an argument for it.
Anyways the experts will come in do there measurements etc. and we will see what happens I hope they take this and all cases to court and prove these guys wrong and stop this assault against small truck manufacturers before they can no longer get insurance ad stop making fire trucks.
