As a Fellow Volunteer in PA, the state law say that you cannot have lights or sirens of any sort whatsoever on your POV (privatly owned vehicle). You can however turn your hazards on. But are not permited to speed. All of this has to do with the fact that you don't have city insurance on your personal vehicle.

Yes. Under 75 Pa.C.S. § 4572(a) (relating to visual signals on authorized vehicles), ambulance personnel, owners and handlers of dogs used in tracking humans, and volunteer firefighters may each equip one personal vehicle with no more than two flashing or revolving blue lights or one light-bar assembly containing no more than two blue lights. Only blue lights may be used on the light-bar assembly. You may contact: Pennsylvania State Police Public Information Office 1800 Elmerton Avenue Harrisburg, PA 17110 (717) 783-5556

I was wondering that myself. Im a Junior in PA too.

Ask the Chief of your fire departments

Yes. Under 75 Pa.C.S. ? 4572(a) (relating to visual signals on authorized vehicles), ambulance personnel, owners and handlers of dogs used in tracking humans, and volunteer firefighters may each equip one personal vehicle with no more than two flashing or revolving blue lights or one light-bar assembly containing no more than two blue lights. Only blue lights may be used on the light-bar assembly. all of that is true however if your department has a standard operating guideline that states for example only drivers and officers can have lights that would make you unauthorized and or your chief would simply not give you a note or whatever it is you need to take to the state police to get your card stating that you are authorized.

The persons before referencing T75§ 4572 Visual signals on authorized vehicles. left out a key section as cut-pasted below ...... (1) In order to be eligible to display lights on their vehicles under this subsection, the names of the ambulance personnel, volunteer firefighters and certified volunteer search and rescue organization members shall be submitted to the nearest station of the Pennsylvania State Police on a list signed by the chief of the ambulance or fire department or company, the head of the search and rescue organization, and each dog owner and handler shall register at the nearest Pennsylvania State Police station.

your fire cheif would give you an answer to that

Your not a responding member of the dept your a junior firefighter, so really no you shouldn't, you also should have a blue light card, at least in most dept's the chief has to sign off on it.

Only Chief officers, Fire Police Captain, and Fire Police Lt., may use sirens...all other responding personnel may use blue lights as long as they comply with PA Vehicle Code and are authorized by the Chief of the department...Here is a link for the Pennsylvania Junior Emergency Service Compliance Manual...it spells everything out for you... http://www.co.berks.pa.us/fire/lib/fire/filesfordownload/junior_emergency_service_compliance_manual_v2007.pdf

No, You are not permitted to use the warning lights until you reach the age of 18. Once you do you may only equip your vehicle with two flashing or revolving blue lights and no siren. One or both of the lights needs to be permenately roof-mounted and visible from 360 Degrees. both of the lights need to be hardwired into your car and a switch needs to be in place for operation. Once mounted, you must cover them when traveling out of state because several states use blue lights as their primary lighting system, therefore making you appear to be a cop and can be cited for impersonating a police officer. In my opinion, just wait until you become an officer, then you can install red lights and a siren in your car, the blue lights dont really help anyway, i went through that phase and wish that i hadn't, just a word of advise.

I am a FF in PA and have researched this matter so we could add it to our Co policies, A FF in the state of PA is allowed a max of 2 blue lights one of which must be visible 360 deg. The only FF's allowed to use sirens are Chief officers, Fire Police. There are alot of people using dash mounted lights which are illegal in PA unless of course you are a Chief, Coroner or Law Enforcement or you have an additional roof mounted light visible 360 deg. The PSP is lacking in their efforts to enforce this regulation. Running blue lights does not give anyone any special privileges and they must obey the laws just like anyone else. According to my sources (I have not found it in writing) but they state that anyone under the age of 18 is not permitted to use lights. In my opinion using a blue light is putting you at risk for a lawsuit that could result in an accident caused by you responding to a call even if you weren't at fault. You stick out like a sore thumb. It is also a requirement to obtain permission from the Dept Chief and the Chief is required to submit any and all blue light users to the PSP on an annual basis this includes name, vehicle make and model and license plate number.
