That is where the ambulances are kept

We had button on the back that buzzed in the cab with a red light. If someone fell of haha

No, it's not but ok

How is it not a Model 7?

@@WillyBillyBoy24 I don't even remember writing this comment, but I think that is a model 5 because of the wind-up, although I may not be correct.

@@SouthGeorgiaSirens Hilarious, I didn't think you'd reply. I see videos all the time of what I think is a Model 7' and people say 5. I always look for the larger bottom cone for Model 7's aside from the sound. I still get confused by T variants.

@@WillyBillyBoy24 From what Ive read off the ARS forum the 5/7s have no visible difference, the only difference is the 7 has a more powerful motor.

@@WillyBillyBoy24 I know for a fact the ones with the larger, more angled, lower louver are Federal Electric era (Fedelcode) type 5/7s. Also what about the T variants confuse you?

+PGMEagle It's a Model 2.

+Andrew Carlstedt it's a federal model 7 siren the model 2 is smaller than that

I had some friends whose house was directly under a Thunderbolt siren....they despised that thing...until one afternoon their house caught fire....then that attack sound was the sweetest music they'd heard.

I remember when I first joined the local Volunteer Fire Dept near my home, they did not have any Pagers at all. All they had was the house Siren, and a Telephone Call System, and when people heard the Siren go off, they picked up the phone, and started calling up the Fire Dept Members and telling them to report to the Station to answer the Fire Call. They had to use the Siren on every single Call, no matter what time of the day, or night it was. That was way back in September of 1985 when I started running Calls. Lots of great progress has been made with how the Members are notified for Calls these days compared to way back then.

The siren also warns everyone to get off the roads and make way for the firemen

EMSguy two of our guys live next door, one across the street-mixed reviews :)

EMSguy , imagine if it was diaphone horns instead .

Im sure you would feel differently if your home was the one on fire or your family were the ones in a car accident. the pagers and phones don't always work.

Trystan Weir It is just a throwback to the days when there were no pagers. I work for a FD two Counties away. We still have some volunteers and in the last 29 years they have managed to get the calls without a siren.

ethan morrow I have been through a couple of ISO Inspections at work and it was not a issue that we did not have one for our Volunteers. The City I live in has a ISO of 8 which I think is pretty bad even for a VFD.

ethan morrow Still more of a bad than good. Wakes people up and the VFD always complains people follow them to calls. Fire calls look like a parade here.Stop giving them advanced warning and it will stop some, others have scanners but most probably do not. Anyway they are still going to set it off unless per Mayor I actually start a petition drive showing that the Andy Griffith days are over.

ever since the new narrow banding went into effect by the fcc, the county has had to install several more towers and upgrade the commo/paging/dispatch system due to we still have areas in our county and many towns where pagers still do not work and the radio which are motorola's sometimes work, we still are needing the outdoor warning siren just because of this. none of our firefighters and town folk bitch about notifications.

It's a 5B

I have seen paid unionized fire department run in circles for an hour and a half because all the hydrants were dry! It was an abandoned grain depot at a harbour. They didn’t know what to do! Yet 15 feet down was Lake Superior! It never occurred to them to use their 4 inch ridged suction into the lake and draft! It took 90 whole mins! By then their ladder truck had sustained heavy heat damage!

Kevin Casey Kevin most volunteer firefighters are also paid as well rethink how you think of us vollies..you know show some knowledge

Hate much?
