"Legend has it, those activation tones are still going to this day"

[@lukemicsky3086]

Lol 😂 they activate them one by one, so that's why it takes so long.

Nice Hi Lo towards the beginning

[@acap-5030]

Where's the speaker for the activation tone?

[@theguythatwins2]

The antenna that receives the signal to activate the siren is mounted inside the station on the wall above the siren control box.

[@theguythatwins2]

The tones you hear over the radio are actually our pager activation tones. The siren activation tones used to be a dual tone that immediately followed the long tone. This activated the siren. After the county upgraded the radios to the 800mhz system a few years ago they switched the remaining sirens in the county to alphanumeric activation on the higher frequency.

Interesting. Are you a firefighter in Irishtown?

[@theguythatwins2]

CentralPASirens yes. I am

[@CentralPASirens]

Cool! I'm a member at Lisburn. Can you share this with Maurice?

Were these used during the Cold War or World War 2?

[@michaelpetersonjr]

Cold War, but mainly the SD-10's in the L.A. and San Diego area in the 1950's and 1960's.

[@michaelpetersonjr]

@PineTree Sirens lol yes I know. Most of the sirens in my area were installed in the early 1960's for Civil Defense, weather warnings, and fire department use. In the late 1980's, however, they had been gone.

[@tofu1394]

Horns looks like they go toot but alas, you've been fooled. They SCREAM! So cool!

[@michaelpetersonjr]

I wish the 3T22A in my area (Oriskany VFD in Oriskany, NY) had sounded as good as this one!

[@andyt1424]

Notice there's still a clevis in the eye bolt up top. Makes a guy wonder if that's from when they originally lifted it up there...?

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

While it winds up a bit slow, it reaches the perfect RPM.

[@TheCasualSirenEnthusiast]

Too low

Where is the sentry siren located in mcsherrystown?

[@lukemicsky3086]

Westview Drive and Oak Lane, it's at some kind of maintenance building. Sorry for the late reply.

[@theguythatwins2]

It’s on the sewage plant. It used to be mounted on the old McSherrystown fire company building.

And thank you too!

[@toybartley3528]

by the time the siren activates the city would already be incinerated if it was a bomb activation XD

[@theguythatwins2]

It only takes that long because it was test day and the county dispatch goes through each department’s tones one by one starting with the lowest station number to the highest. There were 9 departments tones before this one.

[@purpleviolet207]

Neat!

[@eduannysacosta9617]

Appreciate Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for firefighter interview tips minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got cool results with it.
