Reference: Bluelight proper name?

Reference information:
The www.bluelight.gov.uk site was initially launched in November 2004, to provide an E-Tendering solution available to all Emergency Services. A large number of Police Authorities and Fire & Rescue Services have signed up, a list of which can be found on the Member Authorities link on the left hand side.

I think it is a reference to the blue strobe light atop official cars

Asker: I know that, thank you, but I was looking a Spanish expression. Maybe EMERGENCIAS would be a good one.
