It would depend upon if the firefighter is a volunteer or a full time employee. If I read the code (see below) it would only allow volunteers to do that on their vehicles.

Mississippi Code of 1972 - SEC. 63-7-19. Lights on police and emergency vehicles; lights on rural mail carrier vehicles.

Only law enforcement vehicles, fire vehicles, private or department-owned vehicles used by firemen of volunteer fire departments which receive funds pursuant to Section 83-1-39when responding to calls, emergency management/civil defense vehicles, emergency response vehicles of the Department of Environmental Quality, ambulances used for emergency work, and 911 Emergency Communications District vehicles may be marked with blinking, oscillating or rotating red lights to warn other vehicles to yield the right-of-way. (2) Any vehicle referred to in subsection (1) of this section also shall be authorized to use alternating flashing headlights when responding to any emergency.
