I miss those old two tomes. Just a part of our generation. I'm glad that I grew up with these old sirens. They need to make a retro come back to the era.
The first truck is fitted with 'almost good' warning lights. The traffic-clearing or grille lights flash in pairs: excellent for tracking by other drivers and distance information transfer. But this is impeded by the distraction of the roof lights which flash alternately, confusing distance information. But, the following truck is even worse, with alternating grille lights and completely uncoordinated roof lights. Makes it difficult for other drivers to track and even make a unitary identification of the truck, increasing the other drivers' perceptual and planning workload and potentially reaction time. On the audible alarm: air horns v electronic sirens: I'm not aware of any field studies on road user behaviour, but my subjective impression, having driven fire appliances using each (and electro-mechanical sirens), is that the two-tone air horns have the best traffic reaction at close range. Dual sirens seem to be elicit better medium range reactions
@@andyprice72 .... nothing says "Get out of the f*ckin' way!" like the proper British air two-tones. I used to love the WMFS pumps of the '70s and '80s with their twin-sets. I remember being on New Street in Birmingham, 1980-ish, when a convoy of A1 Central's Pump Escape, Pump, TL & ET came flying around the corner with all horns blazing... It nearly made my ears bleed. Happy days. 😊
TRUs are to stay at leigh and Ashton. Both boats are also staying put. Everyone at leigh and Ashton will have TRU training and capabilities. Ashton are getting a brand new boat.
@@fireresponsetv I didn’t realise they were separate I thought they were all trained already,will this increase the number of riders on the TRU or will that stay the same?
It maybe they were somewhere else when they got the shout doesn't mean they are at the fire station at all times.Theu may have been out on a non emergency call 😮
Love them two tones! Really need to be used more often as they are much noisier and more distinctive than most electronic sirens.
The two-tones are definitely more urgent and scary sounding.
Perfect. As soon as I hear these two-tone sirens it takes me back to an episode of London's Burning from the 1980s.
Beautiful sound, especially with the reverb before it comes into shot.

Loveing the two tones, and i love the skund of that old volvo engine

Two Tones, far more effective and a lot more distinctive.
agree, plus police and ambulance was same but a slight different pitch. so we always knew what vehicle to look out for

Wow. Thanks for that info on the lights, I never knew nor thought the lights flashing would have so much information to others, great knowledge. 😊
Not sure how I got to find this, but two tone is so much better, bring them back I say. They when we say Blues and Twos, it will mean something again.
Ahh the sound of old fashioned two tones. 🎶🎵🎺
Nice two-tone usage. Didn’t expect the Austrian Rosenbauer to have such British twos. Expected the European model.
They are still amazing 🤩
Cant beat proper two tone air horns
@@andyprice72 .... I agree.

@@YelpBullhorn Totally agree 100%
Love the different sirens
Anyone know why different one’s are used??
It could ve used depending on the traffic/ going to junctions!
The old air horns are certainly the highest volume.
Awesome two tones, for me they sound like they really mean business.
Loved your vid great content
Cheers!
Why they should not respond out of the station is across the road.
What
They might of been returning from a another turnout
@Aberdeen999videos they wernt
This clip is a really good sound effect
Great video mate 😁
Thank you!
Have you seen latest proposal regarding the TRU?
TRUs are to stay at leigh and Ashton. Both boats are also staying put. Everyone at leigh and Ashton will have TRU training and capabilities. Ashton are getting a brand new boat.
@@fireresponsetv I didn’t realise they were separate I thought they were all trained already,will this increase the number of riders on the TRU or will that stay the same?
The TRU will still ride 5. The main point is so the TRU will be able to be crewed constantly
@@fireresponsetv 5? Is that 3 on main truck and 2 on the van and sounds like a good idea to me to change it to keep it on the run along with the pump
Yeh 3 on the pump 2 on the van
Lovely, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒
Thanks man!
@@fireresponsetv No problem mate 🧑🏻👍🏻
Brilliant video mate
Thanks!
How come the appliances were coming from the opposite side?
They were doing community work at Pennington flash!
Where were they turning out from if the station is on the other side of the road?
They were responding from Pennington flash due to community work
what two tone siren do they use?
I'm unsure
Fiamm italian
Brilliant
Why they passing a fire station?
That's the fastest route to the incident
It maybe they were somewhere else when they got the shout doesn't mean they are at the fire station at all times.Theu may have been out on a non emergency call 😮
❤🎉🎉
Im convinced they sound scary with the two tones in the 0:40 Segments , Great Turnouts though.
Sprinter van off the run again?
Yep
@@fireresponsetv surprise surprise
Always get a clown leaving a massive gap in front of the bus.could understand if there was 4 foot of snow and pitch black.
