PASADENA, CALIFORNIA - Regional resources are used to protect "The
Granddaddy of Them All" at the annual Rose Bowl game held in
Pasadena.
Editor's note: The next time you are specifying an emergency
lighting package, look at including a steady burning red front
facing light. You'll be surprised at how effective it is. This
requirement (as well as the more common rear facing amber) has been
a California requirement for decades.
