Todmorden Flood Siren Test 2017

[@mrmattandmrchay]

Excellent! I haven't seen (or heard!!) a whailing siren in the UK for a long time!

[@P22RPX]

@Miguel Rodrigues Garcia Broadmoor removed them for the new hospital,

[@jezcolborne6329]

@Miguel Rodrigues Garcia the broadmoor sirens didn't wail they used a hi lo warning hut they have gon and now they have a klaxon electronic siren that annoyingly wails instead of the HI LO which is sad as I loved the HI LO

[@BuzzLightyear66]

@@jezcolborne6329 I prefer the wailing sound. A wailing siren is more traditional to the red warnings heard during WW2. The hi-lo sound has no historic value.

[@jezcolborne6329]

@@BuzzLightyear66 na! The wailing sound dousnt do it for me at broardmoor hospital AT ALL. I like the old mechanical dual tone minor 3rd hi lo! The wailing tone makes it sound like a missile attack or a nuclear leek not an escape

[@jezcolborne6329]

@@BuzzLightyear66 the only time I like the attack signal is if its for fires or chemical fires gas leeks or nuclear leeks done by a KLAXON GP12 or a CS8 with dampers but not at Broadmoor it should still be hi lo not a signal that PUTINS BOMBERS want to hit us with nukes

[@brianlion9494]

There was a time when this meant you were going to reach about 2000000 degrees in about four minutes time. Chilling thought

[@JetDom767]

Before that it would have been to signal the start of the blitz.

[@randomores]

Absolutely lovely. One of my favourite siren systems in the UK is the Calderdale flood network! Great video!

[@SiVlog1989]

If I was hearing that in the flesh and wasn't expecting it, my face would probably turn white. Such a chilling, unnerving sound 😨

[@bkrbyex4339]

Reminds me of those sirens going off, in the movie, "the time machine"

I just moved to this area and this went off at about 5am. I didn't know this even existed until this morning

[@SiVlog1989]

[@slendermanRblx]

I wonder how many old people who lived though WW2 grabed their ration sheets and headed to their backyard air raid shelter on hearing this

[@Keaton0801]

slenderman7676 Rblx I was about to comment on something like this, but you beat me to it. This siren in 1944 meant get underground otherwise once the all clear was given, you would be on one of the parked cars, on the pavement, and on up on what was left on the roof of that building. All at the same time. Literally, and you would be smoldering and charred as well.

[@Cookiefanxo]

Lol yeah

[@shardlake]

None as it's the "All Clear" - Used to test these, always used the all clear to stop the switchboard melting with calls :)

[@FM60260]

@@shardlake This is the Attack warning red signal, the All clear is steady for one minute. The old Flood warning signal (as used on the Norfolk system) was on for 32 seconds and off for 16 seconds 6 times.

[@bkrbyex4339]

This guy in the movie "the blob,"... In one scene, hears the Sirens going off..."Oh oh..is That air raid Sirens going off?... I'd better get my civil defense helmet on"

[@Keaton0801]

This siren is still in use today, becuase of a simple easy to repair design that is reliable and works almost every time.

[@SiVlog1989]

What's more, their design is such that the sound carries for some distance and the distinctive sound of the rising and falling pitch is unmistakable, so people know that they need to evacuate the area

[@tomlowe8563]

Look closely and you can see spray coming from the siren

[@Keaton0801]

Tom Lowe looks like it had just recently rained, so the siren was probably a little wet. Nothing out of the ordinary there. When the rotors spins to create the noise, if they are wet, the water is going to get flung everywhere.

Same! Better than the classic German E57.

[@jezcolborne6329]

​@@robinausbayern1999you got that right mate. Thease sirens make me exited but i know they are used for a flood hazard and the attack signal would make people think WW3 is apon us or say a stupid thing like oh no them germans are back but they are our friends and thease are not Ww2 sirens but re used cold war and modern 10/12 port sirens

[@robinausbayern1999]

@@jezcolborne6329 Definitely. The German E57 siren is commonly used for the fire departments. But the sirens are also used for warning the population if there is a danger. And the E57 is starting to get replaced by electronic sirens like the ECI or ECN (HÖRMANN) or SES (SONNENBURG).

[@lisamcdonald1014]

Sounds more like a a volunteer fire brigade siren in my opinion

That was true aswell but then they had other uses and still do like floods quarrys military bases large wood pulp factorys and also chemical plants

Well iit wails like an air raid siren but it's for floods so no need to go to an air raid shelter

[@jezcolborne6329]

@Randoxc it was used for the cold war until it was put there to warn of floods as its a cold war era air raid siren as there are 6 of these secomak GP8 sirens and 2 klaxon sirens. One is a GP10 and the other one a brand new GP12. The GP12 is replacing an old secomak GP8 which will not be used again in hebden bridge and the other the GP10 is at walsden witch replaced a secomak GP8. I think they will replace all the secomak GP8 sirens with new klaxon GP12 sirens or GP8 sirens in the future
