Livonia, MI Fire Dept #1 (Headquarters) FS 2001-SRN Tornado Siren Test July 5th, 2008

[@Siren1000T1]

This siren here actually got moved to a different location in Livonia that replaced a 3016. When the new 2001-130s came, the West Shore Service Crew did the siren locations. Some of the locations are in the same spot to where the old sirens use to be and some are in new locations to where there has not been a siren there before. They did that to make certain areas in Livonia have more siren sound coverage.

Federal Signal has stopped production of the DC and SRNB models but are currently producing the 2001-130 models.

[@Siren1000T1]

There is no park right next to the Livonia Fire Dept but the Police Dept is right behind the Fire Dept. This is in the downtown section of Livonia.

[@Siren1000T1]

West Shore Services installed two 2001-130s about a quarter of a mile east and west of where this siren once stood. They moved this to a different location in Livonia because they felt this siren was still good enough to match all the other 2001s in Livonia. The only thing they did after they moved this is add the new controls.

[@EastDetroitMusic-Sirens3000A]

Is this siren still in Livonia?

[@TspesVladD]

These are one of the best 2001 sirens.

[@ayansiddiqui1394]

Ikr

[@carexpertandy]

That's too bad. It's such a good siren.

[@DieselProductionz85]

i like the sound of this siren , this is the type they have at the town i live in , its a lot better

[@Siren1000T1]

Actually its close by. Right now there is no siren there.

[@Siren1000T1]

I believe 1988 is when they started to make the 2001 ACs which were the origanal roundbacks.

[@StarwolfTsuname]

The only way I am able to navigate to my college everyday is by counting the 5 2001's on the way, not including the one right on campus that I visit quite often. :D As lame as this model is compared to others, the 2001's are beginning to grow on me. Nice video!

[@Siren1000T1]

They stop making the DCs but not 2001-130s.

[@thecompanycar]

That's kind of dumb that they replaced a 2001 with a 2001. All they really needed to do was update the controls. That's what they did to the 2001 at 10 Mile and Beck Rd. It's one of the old ones like this and they replaced the controls when I lived there like 3 years ago.

[@carexpertandy]

Okay, so some older 2001s do have round backs. Are the 2001s with round backs the 2001 ACs and rectangular backs 2001 DCs?

[@Siren1000T1]

Well this kind of model is somewhere in the early 90s.

[@TSMaster5150]

That sucks. I think they should have put the new one right there.

[@briggsjos]

Where i live i'm in between 3 FS 2001 sirens, and i can hear the out of tune sound as son as i hear all of their sound waves meet up at my house.

[@mariaD9]

is that the siren that replacded the thonder bolt

[@FBHSswimmer2006]

i think that the 2001 DCs were manufactured in the 90s and early 2000 if i'm correct.

[@cc10266]

When was the first 2001 introduced?

[@ayansiddiqui1394]

I've watched this video a few times but I love it

[@TSMaster5150]

Well I mean is a 2001-130 in the exact spot as this siren?

[@mnsirens]

I like 2001's a lot. I'm not a huge fan of T-128's and 508's or any Sirens which have the 8 Port sound, but they do offer better coverage so I can see why cities go with them

[@southpark326]

theres a fs 2001 dc in lincoln city oregon

[@Marc7665]

Honestly I think theses sound better than the 130s. These arent quite as high pitched, kinda in the middle :)

[@TspesVladD]

I think the 2001 DC is the best kind. That's what I thought this one was.

[@FBHSswimmer2006]

oh o.k. thanks dan.

[@MasenMonster]

Hate to break it to ya, but they actually call that a 2001-DC. It has pretty much the same design as the SRN, except it has a black ring up front, has 2001-DC written on it (which can be clearly seen on this video), and runs off of DC power instead of AC, hence the lower pitch.

[@jacksvacssafety2620]

DC stands for the type of power it's running off of, the tags say SRN, even on the roundback models.

[@brandonbutchart5576]

So was this the last time the 2001 tested at this location?

[@Siren1000T1]

Sorry for late reply. Yes it was.

[@neosho53059]

i think it would look better if there was a t-128!!

[@biggulp2000]

the 130s by my house suck I like srnb's and dc better

[@ayansiddiqui1394]

It's a 2001 dc not an srn
