ACA P-50, Bristol, WI, Siren Tour

[@firealarmexpert25]

*UPDATE:* This siren has now been replaced with a 2001-130 instead of being put back up. Unknown what will be done to this siren

[@Marlenefiloteo]

Why is it being replaced

[@firealarmexpert25]

@ this siren was removed as the fire department needed room to rebuild a new fire station. And what happened is ECS came out with a lower bid than their usual company, Fulton. And in result, instead of putting this siren back up, ECS just replaced it with a worse siren, a 130

If this thing ever gets reinstalled, will the county buy a new RTU for it? As it seems that one looks beyond worth salvaging.

[@SirensOfTheMidSouth]

*M E G A L O P H O B I A* In all seriousness, this was a cool tour. But yeah those things are freaking huge. I honestly think that almost all of the P-50's in Kenosha County are refurbished/remanufactured, since apparently they have those 4 bolts on there at 3:15.

[@firealarmexpert25]

Some are not. These were refurbished by Fulton a long time ago

Awesome, I was just there yesterday!

BRO THEY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS OTHER THAN THE SCHAUMBURG ONE AHHHHHH

[@BellyLover06]

Finally get to see what's inside the rotator mechanism. Funny how they reuse basically an entire ACA Cyclone just to power this thing.

[@firealarmexpert25]

And it came out to be a great idea. Just not repairing it and stuff like that

[@steveperelli3602]

How would a box wear like that?

1:03 bro is that a wasp nest??? If so, you are so lucky it’s a dead one otherwise you could’ve gotten stung really bad lol. Great vid!

[@firealarmexpert25]

Sure was and I didn’t not think about that if it was lol

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

@@firealarmexpert25oh man lol. I would honestly not go into cabinets that were lying around for ages because they could be infested with paper wasps. I opened an old unused mailbox once just for the hell of it and got stung by a wasp as it was infested and I didn’t know until it was too late. It didn’t hurt really bad tho as only one wasp got out

[@VintageCollections]

That’s a mice nest, too much fuzz to be wasps.
