I think he was referring to chevrons, Squad 8 has them on the rear.

Was a test process for Squad 8 & Rescue 1…. They also put them on Rescue 11

Yes.

From what I was told it was from federal funding

Just a fyi. Fire Bell club meetings are not open to those that are not members of the club, unless invited.

SQUAD 8 ( and RESCUE 1 ) front bumpers have them too.

Its confirmed Chevrons are on the Rear of 169, it seems they also changed the specification on the layout of the rear lighting and added more lights to the rear.
