I note that that siren was playing the attack warning, which involves a rising/falling tone. For those of you not aware, Alexandra is a rural town in central Otago, N.Z. It's a volunteer run station.
You can tell how different countries are in terms of fire sirens. German fire sirens sound like this: 3x 12 second blasts with two 12s pauses; Austria is just a tiny bit different: 3x 15 second blasts with 7s pauses, while this one does attack...
@@dbyers3897 Nonsense yourself. Hardly what anyone would call heavy traffic. There are only 5000 people in Alexandra, it's not a big town. There must be one volley that lives close to the station. You can't tell me they all live on the far side of town.

Great Catch!👍
A lot of blasts on that siren
Quite a slow turnout. Must have been a Sunday, ha ha.
@@sw6188 Nonsense. Look at the heavy traffic. Not everyone lives next door to a vollie station.
The siren will cycle at a retained/volunteer-staffed station until the first member arrives to stop it.
