Air Raid Siren Walk 10

- Searching for civil defense sirens around Los Felize in Los Angeles, CA.
Walk a total of 10 miles with a still aching toe on a trip that ends on the top of a mountain. Also, I see perhaps one of the best preserved 500SHTT and find one of the most hidden sirens on Los Angeles.
Man, these walks you do are the BEST! I just love sitting down and watching the AMAZING content you produce! Keep up the great work, Douglas!
Thank you so much, that means a lot.
@@DayTrippingAdventurersiren 92 is gone in 2006 because of construction and also siren 92 wasn’t going on in the last action hero because the house exploded
I like these kinds of videos! They are awesome! Cool to see someone still looking around to see these, as most people walk past it and not notice it.
When I talk to people about them in Los Angeles we usually comment that they seem to be hidden in plain sight. I've pointed them out to people who have told me, "I've been coming here for X# of years and never noticed that thing." And people ask me what I'm looking at during the walks which allowed me to have several engaging conversations with perfect strangers.
I love the look of the 500 SHTT sirens. I like the placement of the siren that is by the public pool and on the mountain side.
I've driven by the public pool so many times and never saw it, now I always try to look for it. But yeah, I generally don't give much thought into why the sirens were places where they were. But, if you think about it, especially at the time of their installation, most make sense. The one at the pool is an odd one though, not sure how people lived around that area in the 50s? But then, I don't think that freeway was there so.......
@@DayTrippingAdventurer maby there was a park or a condominium there... I work for a siren company that installs, repaired and just does general upkeep on public warning systems and I've seen some sirens in odd places. I have encountered sirens just install in the middle of the country where there's barely anyone located and I once seen a Thunderbolt siren that was installed in the middle of a woods what was just bizarre. I saw a picture of a Soundmaster 125 siren right next to a public pool and the placement of the one 500 SHTT is reminds me of that.
I believe the second siren you showed is quite rare! And the first one as well but not as much as the second!
There's also a chrysler siren in rancho Dominguez by broadwick and paulhan st next to blue tanks
Yep, one of the 2 or 3 remaining ones
No way?!!!!
There are at least 2 Chryslers I eventually plan on seeing. Those will most likely be their individual videos. Or a trip done by car.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer I remember on one of your trips you went to a dog park, and there used to be a Chrysler there, but it is gone.
@@nathansalazar6775 The only dog park I recall was when I went downtown behind the Staples Center. Its where the Daffodile Siren is. There's one I believe in Veterans park along Wilshire and Sepulveda.
If those Los Angeles civil defense sirens we’re still active in 2022 I would definitely get a good sound out of it It would scare the living crap out of me even the SD 10s 500s are the most terrifying ones
Imagine in year 2020 if all these LA sirens were not disconnected and they still worked I would be in shock and also I would record it if I lived in that area
I’m not sure if it is still there, but as of a year ago there was still a Thunderbolt siren on Beach Blvd in Buena Park behind a fire station shortly before the 5 freeway. Another pole had been erected in front of it preventing it from ever rotating again. (Not that it would ever run again anyways).
Haven't made it that far south yet, but eventually I hope to see them all in the region so, I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the tip.
Some of these sirens are still active sense some you see still has wires to em. It's just sad seeing them rot away and not be restored to great health. :(
The wires attached are the phone lines that control the activation of the siren. But, from what I've seen so far, all the power has been cut so they can't work. I'm told if power were reconnected they would most likely work.
Fresno has sirens similar to these. I plan on documenting the system soon.
Yeah, there's sirens all over CA, and the country. I'm just focusing on the ones in Los Angeles for now, but hey, maybe I'll see you on a walk in Fresno one day!
@@DayTrippingAdventurer Yep. Hope to see ya out here some day! But i will say I recommend not walking in some of the neighborhoods where the sirens are here lol
@@DayTrippingAdventurer Just posted a video about the sirens in fresno.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer I live near an inactive SD-10 in Rainbow (a small community in San Diego County)
Hey guys have you ever heard of the ST-12 siren?
Yeah
hey you need to know some think about the model 5's and the 7s their is a model 5t and a model7t they have a sd 10 moter in them that sound's like a sd 10
Good to know. I'm not sure if the 5s or 7s in Los Angeles would have those since they were mostly installed in the 40s and the SD-10s were installed separately in the late 50s early 60s. I could be wrong though.
Can you do Bozeman montana
I would totally do a trip to Bozeman Montana..... just need to find the time.... and the money..... one day.... one day.
8:53 thankfully they're no longer in service otherwise the bird would have been for a rude and terrifying awakening 🤣🤣🤣
I have a feeling there would be rude awakenings all over the city, flocks of birds scattering to the air and people jolted by the extreme sound right outside their windows.
That last siren is like maybe 30 feet from a house, and that one on Sunset and New Hampshire is right up against the building.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer you're right lol and us siren fans would be rooting for the sirens turning on and others would be running for dear life
@@AsylumFreak19 I'm finally getting around to working on a new Vlog which concerns sirens that have been going off recently and the public's reaction to them. Where as we would be, "That's an air raid siren! Cool!" The General public is all, "AAAAAA, WTF is that noise???"
@@DayTrippingAdventurer right? Lol
You should check out the 2 B&N Mobil Directo one electric on Hayden avenue and Warner Dr. and a RARE gas powered one at veterans memorial park in Culver City. The wende museum has a red scream master outside and across the street from the veterans memorial park!
I'm planning on making a special trip to some of the sirens, the mobile directo being one of them. But I have been to the gas powered 2000, I even made a video about it with Edaan and Duderocks.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer Ik, there were 3 of them until one got removed in 2010 or so, I may be wrong about its 2011 removal. the other one is Gas Powered with its Wisconsin 25HP engine, they were 2000 units installed until a lot got converted into electric or were removed. There are some Thunderbolts in West Covina. 1 Being removed on Garvey Ave.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer But in Gardena, there is a Thunderbolt 1000T that activates if you ask the fire fighters which the answer mostly is Yes. It’s at fire station 159. And if you have time, there is a RARE Sterling M5 in Upland, CA which is active. It test every weekend on Saturday and Sunday at 12:00 or 12:05PM, it is behind San Bernardino Fire Department 161. On a big red brick building. But beware, you may not be lucky if it doesn’t test like I learned it the Hard way on 3/20/22 on my birthday! It didn’t test even though it was Noon and it was Sunday! Love your content and it inspires me to make my own Siren Walk videos! Hope you have a safe happy day!
@@DayTrippingAdventurer I found out that probably Daylights savings time probably made the Timer the siren is running on probably think it was 11 AM so you should probably wait until 1:00 Or 1:05 PM For it to go off.
Really nice walk ! Fun little fact: the first siren of your walk was seen on some 70's TV serie ruclips.net/video/Cd8B4KSFl3Y/видео.html
Also little side note, thanks for stopping by my live streams, even though they were fully in French ^^ ! I did my best to answer your messages in English ! Also a friend of mine was co-hosting so if you're wondering which one of the two guys speaking I am, I'm the one with the deeper voice ^^
Hmmm, thought I replied to this: Thank you for that video link, I'm putting together a collection of siren shots from TV and films. Keep em coming.
As for your livestream: Watching it was fun and I did get who was who from watching your other videos, thank you for taking the time to check in on me. I work a lot with a Belgium friend who gets me on French on jobs, I've gotten to work with some good French actors (Juliet Benoche and Sophie Marceau ) so I can understand some French, just can't speak or spell it at all.
Glad you enjoyed the videos and keep bringing yours!
@@DayTrippingAdventurer Oh it also happens to you, when you're sure you've answered a message or a comment, but actually you only answered it in your head or typed but didn't click "Send" ! Haha, it happened to me too quite a few times ^^ ! Another interesting link for you: in the movie "The Winds Of War II", at 18:45, you can hear an actual recording of an SD-10 of the LA County system that was located right next to the movie studio. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/SOS5esjEOTQ/видео.html
I've also put up a playlist of various videos showing tests of the many different siren types present around LA County: ruclips.net/p/PLou--vIIxWhjN2o2oAVAcZSQcgUsSFYwN
You've worked with Sophie Marceau ? You brought some of that Hollywood flair with you when you've crossed the ocean xD ! It's great that you can understand some French, it's a great language with one of the largest amount of culture and history, with some of the greatest authors this planet has known. And yes spelling can be very hard in French, even for native speakers, so don't worry about that xD !
No problem, I really like your videos. And not just for the sirens. For the whole content. And funnily enough, while I've never been to the US (I'd love to), I've actually recognized some places in your siren walks and some of your other LA-related videos, thanks to video games. Mostly Grand Theft Auto 5, in which their map ("Los Santos"), is a very well made fictional parody of LA that is faithful to the original according to various people. So it's quite funny to be somehow familiar to a place you've never actually been to x)
Thanks for the additional siren clip, unfortunately I'm looking for actual images of the sirens. So far, other than the one you sent, I have one from Heat (during the robbery shoot out scene) and one from a documentary about a radio station (blanking on the name at the moment but that siren was in Santa Monica and no longer exists.)
Can you do Herrin Illinois?
I would love to. Just need to get the opportunity to go to Herrin IL
@@DayTrippingAdventurer They have a Federal Signal Siratone EOWS 408 the EOWS 408 is only found in Herrin the other ones 612 is common and most popular than 408, 816, 115. The Herrin Illinois 408 is in my profile picture.
@@SISirenGuy He needs to save up cash to go to Herrin, IL. He went to Mississippi not too long ago
2:54 thats the doctors office I always did chemo at and for 2 years I never noticed it.
Chemo! Glad it all worked out. At least I hope it did.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer It did go well I still have to get an MRI every 6 months across the street.
3:10 is that a 500A?
500-SHTT
I heard that there gonna recommission all of these
I'm told that they would all still work with a little bit of TLC. The only ones I know that they've 'recommissioned' were a few downtown for a Disney Hall event. But they basically gutted them and installed modern speakers inside. I believe they are installing new models along the coast. I think Duderocks and Edaan have some videos about those.
@@DayTrippingAdventurer the ones directly on or near the coast are for tsunamis and earthquakes.washington also has been replacing all there old cd sirens with new ones
500AT 3:19
They really need to take those eye sores down. Should’ve removed them long time ago, but that’s what you get when democrats are in charge.
