Air Raid Sirens of L.A. - Walk 2

[@yoitsmoe967]

I love how I know 90% percent where all of these sirens are. Yes, I am a Los Angeles resident too :D. Thank you for the amazing videos!!!

[@laurenloukinen5425]

In the first Parking lot and they have another siren in the 2nd parking lot as well which is a little farther down from the first parking lot.

I think the purple dot at 7:00 was one of the original Chrysler sirens from 1942, there was one in a park that was recently removed

[@Mrbushbtalls837]

This was an SD-10. It got removed during construction for the park. The Chrysler is more west in West Hollywood. This is kind of north or south Hollywood.

[@ThisHandleIsNotTaken.]

LA should make these sirens into an early warning system for earthquakes.

[@DayTrippingAdventurer]

Not a bad idea. I was talking to someone not too long ago who was telling they were in some city, wish I could remember which, that did just that with similar sirens.

[@michaelgalvan9196]

@@DayTrippingAdventurer i see that some of them are connected

[@EastDetroitMusic-Sirens3000A]

@@DayTrippingAdventurerJust gonna put it out there but I'm pretty sure if they reconnected the system they would have to replace them due to 1 aging, 2 may not work as it did 30 or 40 years ago due to the paint the siren developing a lot of rust and just the sirens in general after sitting there for a long period of time might not be a really good idea to reactivate them. If the city were to reactivate them they would either have to refurbish or at least clean all of the sirens out of replace all of them but fr a big city like L.A I doubt it will ever happen and they will most likely be removed some day as well.

[@DayTrippingAdventurer]

You should check out Edaan Friedman's comments on the Air Raid / Tornado Warning Siren Commentary video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nofdi6Crgbmci6c He refurbishes sirens and has some cool videos about this on his channel, and seems to believe that they would work quiet well if one chose to repower them. However, i do believe you are correct, they would certainly need to be cleaned up. Who knows how many bird, squirrel, and rats nests are inside those things.

[@laurenloukinen5425]

There is a park in Culver City called Veterans Park and they have a B&N Mobile Directo Siren on the roof on a building!!!!

[@DayTrippingAdventurer]

I've been meaning to visit that park. One day..... one day.

[@laurenloukinen5425]

Oh good.

[@smithnb42]

I live in New Britain CT. and I grew up in a house that had an SD-10 siren one street over. very close. I grew up in the 80s and they were tested well into the 90s every first Friday of the month.

[@grantyentis5507]

I hope they will always be allowed to remain. I remember hearing them tested monthly in my youth. They're an important part of our history!

[@DayTrippingAdventurer]

Totally agree that they are an important part of our history!

Fresno California has ordered 27 Federal SD 10s

[@seanjuth]

The sirens in LA all have a custom control box which you won't find anywhere else

[@EASsirenVids01]

Ooh!

[@sanjoaquinrailroadvideogra4753]

Fresno, CA (where im from) has VERY similar sirens, All SD-10’s just like these in the video but they’re still yellow-ish. I may do a video on these later.

[@atsf47legit]

same here, I'm also from Fresno. i mainly saw only one of them and it was on top of the veterans memorial museum in downtown. funny thing is, it's kind of hard to spot in my opinion so I must've had pretty good eyes.

[@laurenloukinen5425]

And the siren i think is a Fedelcode siren i don't know what type of siren it is but both sirens aren't connected at all.

[@nicosmith4503]

Day tripping there’s one federal SD 10 in Long Island on top of the WillstonParc fire department

[@DimachkaS]

I drive past these all the time and now I know what they are ! Wonder why they haven’t been removed yet? Glad to see they’re up though

[@CYang-pe1sk]

1:32 UPDATE: This Siren in the tree and those leaves fell down and I saw the siren with a little leaves

[@el1brah]

Am pretty sure you can ask for a siren if they do construction near it

[@caseyv.7544]

Siren 14 is a Federal 5T (the "T" designates it is a double tone unit, so it produces two notes at the same time, giving it that classic air raid siren sound.) The 5T's, 500T's and SD10's that L.A. used all have the same exact inner workings, so they all sound basically identical to each other. The only difference between the 5T and SD10 is the weatherproof housing. The 500T was the loudest because it rotated 360 degrees and projected the sound in a concentrated beam. If you compare the 500T and SD10 side by side you will notice that the bottom cone on the SD10 and the horn of the 500T are the same part, Federal most likely did this to make production of them fast and easy. About the "flattened bird house" units featured in your last siren video; those are short framed Fedelcode Model 5's and produced a single note that was much lower toned than the other sirens(Fedelcode stands for FEDeral ELectric CODEd. Federal Electric was renamed Federal Sign & Signal and later Federal Signal, they are the same company). A couple of them like Siren 196 and 201 have the metal "FEDELCODE" badge stamped on the side of them. LA has a few regular housing Fedelcode Model 5's as well, like Siren 218. The Fedelcode's are the oldest in the system and were installed right after Pearl Harbor. Most of them were made with the short covers to conserve materials during the war. Hope this helped you a bit!

[@DayTrippingAdventurer]

Thank you. Some photos of a Siro Drone that I've seen ook remarkably similar to a Federal 5 (It's certainly possible the photos are mislabeled. But, now I'm certain it's a Federal 5. Perhaps you can help: Are the Fedelcode 5 and Federal 5T the same unit? Or just share a similar housing?

[@woodbury_gaming3669]

@@DayTrippingAdventurer The SIRO Drone has many different types of it. That is one of the types made there also may be a hor sirex in winterhaven

[@friedmanirit]

Hello Casey. Is there any way for me to contact you?

[@nicosmith4503]

Day tripping adventure this is how I remember the Los Angeles sirens I go on Roblox and I turn them on so it reminds me of the World War II and the Cold War days

[@caroldimatteo3358]

I feel sad that the Los Angeles Siren system does not work anymore because of that if something happens then How will they know if Something Happens

[@nicosmith4503]

Day tripping when I was outside in Eddystone PA my mom and her friend went to Rita’s to grab a water ice on our way back home I was on my bike the federal model 7T went off the curfew blast I went to far ahead and I got scared of the federal model 7T

[@Rollerroadster]

Hor stands for hear our roar

[@RealABGamerBoy]

10:04 That's actually a Model 5

[@DayTrippingAdventurer]

Yeah, back in the early walks I was still learning. Now I believe that those sirens are Model 7Ts. Although I'm not completely sold since I've been told that the external difference between the 7 and the 5 is the size of the housing. Until I get to climb up and look at one, I can't be 100% sure. I'm still figuring it all out so thank you for the info!

[@RealABGamerBoy]

@@DayTrippingAdventurer I think if it was the the model 7 the bottom part of the siren would have a full panel.

[@lorwinad1]

Siren #14 is a model 5/7

1:10 This siren is no longer stuck in this tree the manage to get the tree down.

[@hobbeekid]

The (SD) stands for "special dual tone" It produces two tones or signals simultaneously,10 horsepower outdoor warning siren.. Very evil sounding!!! I was able to preserve a sd10 that used to stand on Bixell ave. The last time the system was operational was 1983. I had a service card from the control box that came with that siren but unfortunately it crumbled...

[@DayTrippingAdventurer]

Great information! Did you get it preserved to the point of working or just looking good?

[@pennsylvaniahvacproduction6658]

that is a fs 500sh
