Rotating CLM in attack

- This is not my recording. Alliance, Alberta has a rotating CLM fire siren. After a call for help, a local resident recorded this for me. This may he the only active rotating CLM in Canada.
And the first ever recording of one. A massive thank you to Jacqui of Alliance for recording this.
We finally got a recording of it! It happened! You broke a milestone for the siren community!
Edit: it also produces perhaps the scariest sound produced by a siren I have heard.
Agree on both points. I am so pumped to hear this, and it’s terrifying sounding.
So cool! Thank You so much for recording this!! This IS a historical recording!!!
It's not his, check the description
Wow, This is awesome! Ive been waiting for years to hear a recent recording of an (actual) rotating CLM in its typical surroundings. It sounds identical to the short 1961 recording but far better quality .. I made a fake reenactment video utilizing a (too close) CLM recording sound mix with added sound effects. Made a commemoration video of our old Port Alberni CLM crows nest tower which was in place from early 1960's to 90's.
Holy shit! That sound sends chills down my spine.
Just found this video in a Server, and I was really surprised there is another active CLM. Sounds really Awesome yet Horrifying in midnight.
Same. They have a crappy design though
@@TheCasualSirenEnthusiast Actually they are built better than most of the sirens currently and previously coming out of the USA. Actually they were built because the American sirens performed extremely poorly. A lot of sirens the Americans built used motors similar but larger in design like those used in handheld power tools and small appliances. Universal motors are fine when used in a vacuum cleaner or a drill, typically lasting a few thousand hours but the Canadian sirens were made with three phase induction motors which last indefinitely with little maintenance and can run continuously. The only sirens still using induction motors are Sentry for the same reason.
@@WJCTechyman someone I know owns one he said they're rotators are flimsy and their chains are too
@@WJCTechyman oh yeah the new dc sirens suck but the older sirens like thunderbolt or p-15 are great
@@TheCasualSirenEnthusiast Yeah, well the thunderbolt series was neat but the siren still had that flaw I mentioned earlier with using universal motors. Also remember we didn’t use our sirens as much so sitting idle in the weather will cause parts to seize over the 40 or 50 years was probably what caused some of the issues with rotator mechanisms. Plus that’s one case out of how many sirens? Also the fact they’re fairly rare. Thunderbolt sirens can have even more headaches as there are more moving parts. If I was to choose a siren today it would be Sentry. One induction motor and omnidirectional.
Now if we got a video of it rotating in broad daylight. That'd be a damn good video.
someone’s trying to get to this siren to record it up close
A request has been made. I'm hoping we can get as many videos of this thing as possible
this thing sounds amazing.
THIS IS AWESOME! I always loved CLMs!
Horrifying. Absolutely HORRIFYING.
Finally a recording of a rotating CLM ! It sounds so cool
I never thought it would happen but here it is!!
Wow nice find! Now there's finally a active CLM siren in Alberta
Sweet mother of god it finally happens!
Thought this was a Xt22 for a second
And I can’t believe that there’s one active rotating CLM but there’s 2 CLMs
but one is disconnected in Toronto
There is no streetview through Alliance. I upload a photo of the siren on ARS. It's painted red.
there’s a lot more than 2 active CLMs, the one in newfoundland isn’t the only one
DANG, that's nice! Awesome to see a rarity in action, and it sounds healthy!
8RPM? Also the 12 port is sure very dominant. Other than that it’s a fast rotating CLM version of the 500-SHTT or Mobile Directo
it's actually closer to the various Castle Castings/Carter sirens. The rotors are the same design.
the 500 SH-TT and Mobil Directos are similar between the two, but a different rotor design compared to the CLMs.
@@childishtombino1275 yea I know that. It just sounds like 10/12 port mobile director or 500-SHTT with a blocked 10 port
What a legendary catch! You my friend have made history!!
Oh, man. You or whoever was filming this have GOT to find a way to get an up-close video of that sounding off or ask the FD if they can do an activation request someday. This is just too cool.
apparently OP is trying to record it soon
Wow! My fav siren!
This is AMAZING!
Woah that’s awesome!
Wow! Sounds really good. Sounds like it was rotating at 6 RPM.
We did it. We got one on video.
it kinda sounds like a Xt22,ether way thats hecking awesome
The 20/24 port clm sounds very close to a 3T22!
@@medusan980 it sounds more like a 500-SHTT
@@medusan980 ruclips.net/video/9iWDtVkUaKg/видео.html
@@EastDetroitMusic-Sirens3000A sounds almost the same!
Now to capture this going off in daylight and capture the whole windown. I know these are rare but I want to find one of these to ship to Long Island New York USA to donate to my local fire department
Its definately 3phase but wich canadian CLM ran either 220 or550v kan.me curious😆😆
sounds like 230V 60 hz
Sounds like a rotating xt22.
This is amazing! There are still CLM's active these days!
I grew up absolutely hating this thing, but its super interesting to see how excited people are about it.
awesome!!!
Legendary!
Nice!
Holy crap.
All those years of wondering. And somehow this has happened.
@@medusan980 thank you for making this happen. Seriously.
Wow! Where is the siren located?
Read Description for location.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 I meant where in the town is it located?
@@infinitecanadian Alliance, Alberta at the fire department
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 Thank you!
If I go to Alberta I would visit this because my aunt lives there
Sounds very creepy
oh my goodness that is creepy
AWESOME!!!!!
Where was this at? I thought they were all decommissioned years ago. What is the siren used for today?
For Fire Calls.
DAMN

Nice
WHHAAAAAAT!
