Thunderbolt 1000T Alert- FIRE!

Moore Oklahoma at the em stat station
Caught fire

[@Thunderbolt1000Tfan]

UPDATE: McCranie Warning Systems fixed this siren just a few hours ago. The old blower motor fried, so they swapped it out for a new one.

[@OKARWXbrandon]

Awesome news, thanks for informing us

[@SirensandThunderbolts1003]

@@OKARWXbrandon I'm actually surprised that the blower overload didn't trip or the breaker didn't pop...

tbh when I saw the title of this video I was thinking at first that this was going off because of a fire lol. I didn't think that the siren would ACTUALLY catch on fire! Well done for catching this.

Was there any flames? Or just smoke.

Exactly how the silverstreet's 1003 died but the chopper motor

[@illinoisangling1677]

He started blowing to tell everyone he wasn’t feeling well, and then started screaming higher pitched because the pain was getting worse😂

[@OKARWXbrandon]

Lmao yeah

[@Amdw119]

LMAO

[@starlingbaez6681]

Lol, the actual reason it gets higher is cos the blower takes up energy but when the blower isn't on the chopper can speed up cos there is nothing taking up power. Think of it like lag cos there is too much crap going on

2:00 Day 91 with a 90 day warranty from the shop...

[@J19_vlogger74]

This is why the blowers should have been direct drive and not belt drive

[@OKARWXbrandon]

Odds are the drive belt was fine for a long time and just failed after day 10 years, but that makes it unique vs direct drive

[@J19_vlogger74]

@@OKARWXbrandon but it's less service cost, but also at the end of the day they have lives to save, and if something got stuck in the roots it would be better to burn through a belt than the motor not be able to trun, so i guess belt drive is the best way to go

[@OKARWXbrandon]

Also, they are tested every Saturday for issues like that, but you make a good point, better a belt then a motor

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Least the chopper survived. Must of smelt wonderful after the blower blew up.

[@thespiritstingray9359]

holy cow! that definitely is not good. It's probably the blower that was the issue, not the chopper. The chopper seemed fine throughout the test. good video, glad you were able to catch this.

[@OKARWXbrandon]

Same here

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

Yeah, something is definitely wrong with the blower. It cuts off right as the smoke starts and doesn’t sound right for the remainder of the test

[@thespiritstingray9359]

@@Elizabeth-ts4om the blower must have locked up and the belts might have disintegrated or something close to that. Either way, it's not good that it happened.

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

That is a crazy! I bet it was only of those single phase motors that i guess just had enough. Good thing jeb fixed it up.

[@Creeperboy099]

So, what happened here was the blower motor cooked off and the smoke got sucked into the blower and blown up to the head?

[@TheSirenSeeker]

Precisely.

[@KadenStenka]

This happened to a thunderbolt in my town. it's been replaced with a T-128 though. I saw it catch fire and could smell the blower... I was out for my resese time. the statewide drill was why.
