If I don't hit any traffic, I can usually make second out. Depending on where it is in the district, I'll also just say screw it and go POV. My department gives me hell for my lighting, but they sure love using my car to block a road off.
I work all 3 stations lol. I live near our station 3 and get there non code or code no difference in response time. Station 2 when I'm at the farm and no issues no need for code but those 2 stations are rural. But station 1 is near the suburbs and all the stores (walmart ect) So the traffic load is a lot higher and code is needed.
I only run to station 1 if a pi drops out of my district I'll catch the heavy or the engine for station 1.
With POC it's all a game of call volume (1200/yr) and available staff. We can usually get 3-5 for a medical during the week but this time of year we're lucky to get 9 or 10 for a fire. (happened last week I was the EO, and IC at the same time)

Thankfully I don't have any red lights to go through, especially with NC being a courtesy light state.
I can't understand the reasoning behind courtesy light States.
Here use these lights but they don't really mean anything.
Just give them the EV rights or nothing.

We can have red/clear/amber lights, no audible warning. We are asking, politely, for the general public to yield to us. But we can't exceed the speed limit at all, can not go through stop signs, red lights, ect, or break any other traffic rule of any kind.
Basically, we have lights that are worthless.

We're allowed red/white audible warning. But no amber. As amber is for utility use only.
Even though many units on every department around West mi has amber to the rear

What I left out is that Chief's and Asst. Chiefs are allowed audible warning, and are classified as emergency vehicles. Stupid, isn't it?
Like I said all or nothing the wishy-washy ways seem foolish.
Granted like I said our station 2 is rural and I don't run code in the Med squad half the time because everyone on the road is already going 10 over.

I was just figuring you were going to end it before "A" Monday, not necessarily this Monday.
I'm guilty of pushing the speed limit a touch depending on the call, as I'm sure all volley's are. But it is dangerous. We get a lot of idiots that through lights on their car and think that they own the road. It's amazing we haven't had a crash yet.
I have a mini bar on top of the stereo on the patio. my kids love playing with them. My wife hates them (see previous annoyed comment)

This is all a ruse, like the Hooters waitress and her Toy Yoda
