There were always 2 or 3 nights during the summer at 2:00 AM or 3:00 AM when these went off. We had no A/C, so we kept the windows open. Never could get back to sleep for a while. After the siren went down I always heard the trucks leaving the station. I miss those days.
I remember those days when we at are fire department use to set are off at noon Monday though Friday. I remember one day I was working at the fire station when it went off and the plaid guys told me we have a very big fire and jump on the back of engine 471 and your job was to take the hydrant. It was a very cold day and when we got close i realized that I was about to jump off and take the hydrant and the captain was there watching me doing it right now I told the fire truck to lay in and after I got all done the captain came up to me and told me he was happy with my job and now he wants me to scout up and help fight the fire. It was very big fire at a apartment fire.
I live in Goldsboro Pa down the river and when TMI switched out all the sirens for new ones we took over the old siren and changed the tones on it. Now it blows twice and sounds good.
Didn't know because i don't live in america. I live in Britan. Edit: We use to have a chemical plant siren in the late 90's but it was taken down along with the chemical plant. But I was lucky because since im a siren enthusiast, they gave it to me
WHY DO THESE GO OFF!? Are they necessary?! It goes off every night in Philly. Are they for guidance, to make ppl aware there’s a fire, or to just annoy the entire fuXking neighborhood! Someone explain please.
Philadelphia fire doesn't use these sirens on their stations... you're probably hearing an alarm from one of the refineries or a volunteer station from one of the suburbs.

I think I would like to see them make a comeback actually Why not use sirens at the firehouse as a backup
Sounds like the siren in the town I grew up and started my Fire service career in.
Siren: Goes off
Firefighters: We need to take cover
Air raid.🚨
These sirens on stations are used for fires, very rare for fire departments to use them for natural disasters or nuclear wars.

My dad is a roofer and he was fixing the roof on a fire station and the siren went off he almost fell of the roof
We offer to shut ours off during work, we just have to send out a memo, so everyone else has their pagers with them.

THIS WAS ON MY FRIENDS BIRTHDAY!
Face away from flash until 10 seconds after first light.
Same siren as my local fire department
We have the same siren at our fire department
This is a model 7 siren
That is a Federal Signal Model 5
Whats the call
Fire Station sirens are all but no existent in the Harrisburg Pa area. What a shame I love them.
I have 3 sirens still active near me. 2 STH-10A sirens and a diaphone.
I live in Goldsboro Pa down the river and when TMI switched out all the sirens for new ones we took over the old siren and changed the tones on it. Now it blows twice and sounds good.
Just outside of Pittsburgh we have STL 10s, 2T22's, Models 5, Models 7s, Sirex 20V's
@@WillyBillyBoy24 we have an STH-10, I’d like to know what 205 has, a lot less shrill than ours.
Looks like they either have a Federal Signal Model 5 or Model 7
I heard another siren in the background
we have this Model 5 in Sanborn NY..
Nice footage
So WTF? Did they ever leave the station? Or was this a meeting?
I don't C anyone
Canceled before they could roll.
Federal sign and signal model 5/7
NUCLEAR MELTDOWN!!! 🚨 ☢
Wow. It has the same port and chopper level as an SD-10 even though it's a model 7/3
Um no....the SD10 has a 9/12 port ratio while this has a single tone 12 port.

I think it’s to notify the volunteer firefighters that are not at the station to come to the fire station

These things have been going off 2-3 times after midnight. It’s so annoying!
@@CR1257 cover your ears then bruh

@@TheChachLINY a 7
Federal 2000 Yep ik
UPDATE:The other model 7 is back in oyster bay,so no more Whelen
But they have 3 model 7’s there is an inactive one so there are 2 towns on Long Island with 3 model 7 sirens. Oyster Bay & Holbrook
No trucks went out?
out of district alarm
Considering the video was about the siren (read the title), I don't know why you were expecting a response
Lousy response time guys
2 minutes is bad for people to get to the station from god knows how far away? You know what they say about making assumptions?
@@Sirisma My district is big and it takes 1 and a half minutes from siren activation to the first truck rolling out
@@ultimatelitgamer8322 you must be fun at parties.
@@Sirisma I'm not fun at parties
To bad we didn't see the trucks come out what a wasted video
This isn't about fire trucks. Should've read the video title word by word and knew that this video is about a siren.
If you can't hold the camera steady get a tripod ....it's fucking annoying!
HaHaHa!!! You guys are stuck in the 1970's. Do you still have to hook up the horses to have them pull the steamer engine?
What the hell are you talking about?
