Dallas, TX Special Siren Test | FS&S Thunderbolt 1000 (Manual Blast) | 6/17/2021

On the afternoon of June 17, 2021, the sweet sound of a fully-functioning Thunderbolt was heard in Dallas for the first time in AT LEAST a decade. Thanks to the wonderful crew at Fire Station 11 for making this possible, but don't harass them - it seems like this was a one-time occurrence.

It sounds better than your average Thunderbolt 1000T. It brings a smile. One of my favorites. New favorites. Still like 1000T tho, or 1003.

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

Im really cunfused. So when i clicked on this video i saw the part where you were talking, then youtube must have glitch or something and now im seeing this. And i thought they did a short attack from the other video i saw.

[@TheSirenSeeker]

This is a different fire station. Also I trimmed this video down using RUclips's built in editor.

Hey, at least it tried.

[@TheSirenSeeker]

Lol there was a second blast I didn’t get, it was about a ~10-15 second alert. It sounded amazing. It sounds screwy here because the operator didn’t entirely know how to work it lol

[@OWS_Crazy1]

Holy shit this thing set off a car alarm lol
