Vehicle wraps can help your vehicle stand out in a crowd, which is a fantastic way to promote your business. Not all wrapped cars need to advertise a specific company, however. Some cars, such as emergency vehicles, may use wraps to indicate the vehicleโs importance.
Design your own emergency vehicle graphics and consider Roadrunner Wraps for your vehicle wrapping needs. We donโt just wrap fleet vehicles and food trucks; we also are familiar with the Dos and Donโts of wrapping emergency vehicles. We can offer a range of suggestions for fire truck graphics, police car graphics, and medical vehicle graphics that you may wish to consider on your fleet vehicles. Most vehicle wraps (especially partial wraps) last only 3 to 5 years. The right vehicle wrapping company can help you wrap your car in the highest quality decal material. Sturdy material can maintain the appearance of your vehicle wrap for five years or more, even if you use your vehicle daily. Choose medical vehicle, police car, and fire truck graphics to help your vehicles stand out on the road.
Why Should I Wrap my Emergency Vehicle?
Identification
Wrapping an emergency vehicle with ambulance, police car, or fire truck graphics can make it more evident that the vehicle in question is a police cruiser or an ambulance. It is essential to make these vehicles recognizable so that civilians can respond to them appropriately. For example, civilians may need to give these vehicles the right of way when they must reach their destination promptly. Response time will be faster if the civilian can quickly identify the car as an emergency vehicle.
If police cars are near state or international borders, it may be critical to indicate which vehicle is which. Including the name of the city or state on an emergency vehicle can help to prevent confusion.
- Review the laws in your area to learn if your emergency vehicle is required to be marked as one. Roadrunner Wraps can provide quick, professional service for wrapping fleets of emergency vehicles.
Personal Safety
You can wrap emergency vehicles with reflective material for added safety. Ambulances are the most common vehicle to rely on reflective material. For example, ambulances frequently need to pull to the side of the road so emergency workers can load people into the back. This reflective material can be beneficial late at night.
According to recent research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), most accidents occur when EMS personnel do not buckle their seat belts while riding in ambulances. Unfortunately, emergency medical providers working in an ambulance may not be able to wear seat belts while performing their lifesaving work. 84% of EMS providers were not restrained while in the patient compartment, according to data collected between 1992 and 2011. Likewise, injured persons in an ambulance may not be able to sit safely or remain buckled either. Although the NHTSA did note in its recent research that 96% of patients were buckled during the time of a crash. Unfortunately, 61% of these patients were buckled with only lateral belts, limiting the amount of protection they received.
For everyoneโs safety, we should strive to limit the number of crashes an ambulance may experience on or near the road. Reflective vehicle wraps can warn civilians that an emergency vehicle is nearby, and it may even save lives.
Information
Emergency vehicles can be wrapped with decals that can convey information. For example, fire truck graphics may include a reminder to stop, drop and roll, or take the stairs instead of an elevator when leaving a burning building. An emergency medical vehicle may include information about performing CPR or a website URL you can visit to learn more about responding to situations that require medical attention.
Body Protection
Vehicle wraps can mask the appearance of scratches and dings on a car. A car in excellent condition reflects better on the city it belongs to. While minor scratches may not impede the function of the car or its doors, they can leave you feeling annoyed. A vehicle wrap can cover existing dents and make it less likely that new ones will form.
Consistency
Consistency can help your fleet maintain a polished and professional look. If you already have several wrapped vehicles in your fleet, consider working with a professional company like Roadrunner Wraps that can mimic the existing designs on new fleet vehicles.
What Designs Should I Consider on my Emergency Vehicle Wrap?
You can design your own emergency vehicle graphics with Roadrunner Wraps. The good news is, it should be easy to decide on a design you want. Choosing ambulance, police car, or fire truck graphics is simple because emergency vehicles do not usually advertise businesses. More often, vehicles are painted or wrapped to indicate their identity as emergency vehicles. This means you are more likely to want partial wraps for your emergency vehicles instead of full wraps. Here are some simple police car graphics you can consider on your vehicles:
Police Car Graphics
- Police badge
- Sheriff badge
- City name
- City logo
- Stars and stripes
Fire Truck Graphics
- Flames
- Water
- Red hats
- Dalmatians
- Fire safety instructions
Medical Vehicle Graphics
- Caduceus
- Heart pulse lines
- Hospital name or symbol
- Emergency contact information
- Encouragement for everyone to learn more about medical safety
- Training information (Ex: Contact info for a class about how to perform CPR)
- First responder information
Medical, police car, and fire truck graphics need not be elaborate to look great. Many vehicles use simple colored lines or patches to bring attention to the vehicleโs body. For example, police vehicles are typically dark blue or black but feature white stripes, sometimes along with yellow. Simple designs can give your emergency vehicle an elegant look.
