A 2847 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes certain county fire coordinators to display emergency warning lights on vehicles.

This bill (A 2847) allows county fire coordinators and their deputies to mount and operate emergency warning lights on their personally owned vehicles during fire or emergency responses. It amends existing laws to specifically include these officials under the same vehicle lighting rules as volunteer fire company chiefs and first aid squad leaders. Key provisions require county fire coordinators to obtain identification cards from the Motor Vehicle Commission, limit lights to two mounted on the roof or windshield columns, and mandate carrying the ID card while operating lights. The bill ensures these vehicles follow standard traffic laws and don’t grant extra privileges beyond those for authorized emergency vehicles.
