Nothing clears a path like a two tone horn. I have no idea why they are not used more widely.

[@patrickcannell2258]

Sounds much better than these American things almost everyone is using. Germany still has 2 tone Martin horns.

This video's only gone and made me realise that our two tones are essentially the French Fire brigade's sirens turned pneumatic, then sped up.

[@0ne-6right40]

France did have pneumatic two tones, this is what they probably would have sounded like before they switched to electric.

[@coover65]

Many thanks for the video. Apart from the colour, they're fairly similar to the Scanias used by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services trucks in Australia. Seeing only blue beacons/strobes instead of red/blue is always an oddity.

[@0ne-6right40]

As a fellow Australian, they also like a SA Country Fire Service pumper or a WA VFRS pumper with the white livery.

The two tone is fitted on a lot of trucks - although being phased out slowly. It kinda was the standard siren for UK fire appliances. But as other sirens were fitted, they got used less overtime and some services are no longer having it fitted on new trucks. This might due to the ease of using the new sirens (wail,yelp, phaser, hilo) based on how they are integrated, and the fact there is more than one "siren" to choose from, rather than a constant two tone that can slowly be 'blocked' by drivers (blocked being that they filter out the sound as background noise).

Check Italian ambulance 😱😱 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqDTepmjapWXeLM

[@patgeorge1]

As a retired UK fire fighter I object to our vehicles being called "trucks" in all my time in the job we called them "appliances" , "engines" etc never ever "trucks"!

[@ChasingTheBlueLights]

Does better in the title because of a majority foreign audience! I hate the term truck as much as you do 😂

[@lgmckay]

@@donnaphilbin6563 i like Truck, appliance sound like a washing machine.

[@coover65]

in Australia we call them trucks. I know Brits use the term "Lorry" in some instances, but that's a word never used here. What Brits call "Artics", we call "semi-trailers or semis. Then we have road trains that measure up to 175ft or 53m and have up to 4 trailers. Interesting how Australian English became so different to British English.

[@coover65]

@@YelpBullhorn My parents were New Zealanders and like those brought up in NZ used similar terms to Brits; "Fire Engine" being one, saloons, estates, duvets and so on. I can't recall those BRTs being called anything other than a "Fire Truck" here. My mother always tried to correct me when I'd call sweets "lollies", and a duvet a doona which are Australian terms. We call car based pickups "utes" which nowadays covers basically any single or dual cab carriers. On TV they advertise the Dodge RAM as a "truck that eats utes for breakfast". Chevrolet call the Silverados here "trucks", as do Ford with their F series but Aussies still call them utes.

That because it's not a Martin horn siren. It's a two tone siren/Air horns.
