tbh when I saw the title of this video I was thinking at first that this was going off because of a fire lol. I didn't think that the siren would ACTUALLY catch on fire! Well done for catching this.
Lol, the actual reason it gets higher is cos the blower takes up energy but when the blower isn't on the chopper can speed up cos there is nothing taking up power. Think of it like lag cos there is too much crap going on
@@OKARWXbrandon but it's less service cost, but also at the end of the day they have lives to save, and if something got stuck in the roots it would be better to burn through a belt than the motor not be able to trun, so i guess belt drive is the best way to go
holy cow! that definitely is not good. It's probably the blower that was the issue, not the chopper. The chopper seemed fine throughout the test. good video, glad you were able to catch this.
@@Elizabeth-ts4om the blower must have locked up and the belts might have disintegrated or something close to that. Either way, it's not good that it happened.
We still have thunderbolts in Michigan nothing beats them they put those new sirens most of everywhere we still have a few left when you hear that Sound you know to take cover unless to test there iconic better than any air raid siren in the world besides the Crisler Siren
I was just there at that siren I did not see smoke because I was at another siren when this siren was blowing out smoke. I have three sirens to monitor. And report those back to Cleveland County Emergency Management via an Amateur Radio Club.
This happened to a thunderbolt in my town. it's been replaced with a T-128 though. I saw it catch fire and could smell the blower... I was out for my resese time. the statewide drill was why.
I think a burned belt because the blower still sounded like it was running but except without the belt running, that's why the blower changed tone because the pressure difference of air I'd assume, kind of like a burned broken belt inside a vacuum cleaner.
It was clearly a tornado tone, it was being tested. It's labeled fire because it practically caught fire, if not then just smoked from a burnt belt. Make sense now
UPDATE: McCranie Warning Systems fixed this siren just a few hours ago. The old blower motor fried, so they swapped it out for a new one.
Awesome news, thanks for informing us
@@OKARWXbrandon I'm actually surprised that the blower overload didn't trip or the breaker didn't pop...
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 It did trip the overload, but only because the motor flamed out.
@@Blue10AEMia wow geez

Lol
Same!
Was there any flames? Or just smoke.
@@Mr.Speedcat It looks like it was just smoke, but there could have easily been a small fire inside the motor, that could not be seen.
This takes Fire siren to a new level
I know so funny😂😂😂
Who knew that the Thunderbolt 1000T's could also do a firecall*
*siren damage may occur.
He started blowing to tell everyone he wasn’t feeling well, and then started screaming higher pitched because the pain was getting worse😂
Lmao yeah
LMAO

Lol
@@starlingbaez6681 yeah i agree Cuz the blower pushes out tons of air to the chooper
Thunderbolt 1000T going up from Chopper Level 5.5 to Chopper Level 6.5
Least the chopper survived. Must of smelt wonderful after the blower blew up.
Exactly how the silverstreet's 1003 died but the chopper motor
2:00 Day 91 with a 90 day warranty from the shop...
This'll be the Hurricane in Milwaukee soon if they don't fix the blower.
It probably will in the near future before that Hurricane suffers the same incident as this Thunderbolt. Only time will tell
After this blower fried they replaced it a few hours later
This is why the blowers should have been direct drive and not belt drive
Odds are the drive belt was fine for a long time and just failed after day 10 years, but that makes it unique vs direct drive
@@OKARWXbrandon but it's less service cost, but also at the end of the day they have lives to save, and if something got stuck in the roots it would be better to burn through a belt than the motor not be able to trun, so i guess belt drive is the best way to go
Also, they are tested every Saturday for issues like that, but you make a good point, better a belt then a motor
That's gotta be a hell of a whole new stink right there
I like the ambience after it broke and started being less loud.
That is a crazy! I bet it was only of those single phase motors that i guess just had enough. Good thing jeb fixed it up.
holy cow! that definitely is not good. It's probably the blower that was the issue, not the chopper. The chopper seemed fine throughout the test. good video, glad you were able to catch this.
Same here
Yeah, something is definitely wrong with the blower. It cuts off right as the smoke starts and doesn’t sound right for the remainder of the test

1:59, 😬
This what major bearing failure is on the blower after likely burning a belt out, blower motor was swapped later on.
Siren catches fire around the 2:00 mark
I've been seeing your comments quite often today! It was fixed recently, thank God they didn't replace it.
Wow that’s insane!
Hcccvvvvvvvvvv
Hvbhbb
Hhvvvvvvgg
Honestly if it were louder it sounds like a eows siren ish
So, what happened here was the blower motor cooked off and the smoke got sucked into the blower and blown up to the head?
Precisely.
I was just there at that siren I did not see smoke because I was at another siren when this siren was blowing out smoke. I have three sirens to monitor. And report those back to Cleveland County Emergency Management via an Amateur Radio Club.
Oh good but I already got a hold of Moore PD it and they’re contacting more emergency management as soon as They can
@@OKARWXbrandon Cleveland County Emergency Management already knows about.
Ok
Ohhh a monitor, have you ever seen any siren enthusiasts at a siren
Sirens And Railroads of Oklahoma not yet
2:07 the chopper level just raised🤣
THE FIRE DID IT
it raised because the blower went out
Man, that BLOWS.
That’s a very short siren. Didn’t know it was programmed to do that when it actually caught fire.
programmed to do what
@@vantaaax I think he was talking about how it turned off after the fire but in pretty sure it was the test ending
Are there any other Thunderbolts or classic sirens in Oklahoma you know of? I want to go see some. I love Southside okc
They are everywhere, go on google and look up Oklahoma siren maps.
@@OKARWXbrandon do they specify the model?
This happened to a thunderbolt in my town. it's been replaced with a T-128 though. I saw it catch fire and could smell the blower... I was out for my resese time. the statewide drill was why.
looks like the siren had a ciggerete
jeremy melugin lol
I feel like this is most likely going to happen to the Milwaukee Hurricane
NUUUUUU
There is a possibility it could happen by the Hurricane's blower condition in Milwaukee, only time will tell.
ya real smart, get closer to something that is showing its catching on fire🤦♂️
Anyone have a update on how this one is doing
essh... im gonna guess that was most likely blower motor failure.. that sucks
Everyone keeps saying blower
You’re correct. Blower motor burned to a crisp
I think you means that it blows
It could be the belt because I think I heard it running still when they got close? If it was motor failure it probably would've tripped a reley.
That was just smoke no flames in sight, while I agree it’s not good it didn’t really “catch fire” just blew out some smoke
Probably
The blower exploded
According to a viewer it has been replaced as of today
OKLAHOMA STORM CHASER by a new siren or a new blower?
Blower replacement
Oh my gosh! That is insane!
You can really here that blower running hard lol, that's one interesting incident.
Lol yeah and very interesting
@@OKARWXbrandon
And this is a prime example of poor maintenance by the city.
Tbh kinda like the PN-20s here in Billings
Definitely
SirensOfMontana Moore is one of the best-maintained systems in the NATION. This was a freak accident and it’s being fixed today.
Did you call the fire department when it started smoking?
Called dispatch for Moore PD to tell them it was smoking but all fire if any was there is out fully
now that is a real fire siren.
The thunderbolt was like o no pls help
2:00 Is When It Caught Fire
I recorded this one on Saturday and it’s working just fine now.
I saw the video
Wake
It should be a little louder now, we fixed the massive air leak it had at the coupler and put new blocks under the blower.
Yep, I thought it was louder.
Blue10AEMia shook the ground when we filmed it,
Nice work!
Me expecting it to be a fire siren: 😮
Nice Thunderbolt
Poor thunderbolt :(
(siren goes off @ 00:51 BTW)
(siren's blower kills itself @ 01:59 BTW)
(siren turns off @ 0:350 BTW)
chopper go brrRRRRRRRRR *pitch increases*
2:00 Blower said "Ight ima head out"
Nah dawg the blower starting vaping
Yeah it got the Cancer Stick.
the siren from hell
1:52 thunderbolt is OK 2:03 chopper motor, burnt 2:05 motor exploded, and started to deep fry
If you think about it the thunderbolt is actually turbo charged
*supercharged
A roots blower is literally used for superchargers
Thunderbolts are not suoercharged, would be cool though if they were
@@OKARWXbrandonThe only thing I can think of when reading this is a Thunderbolt sounding like a Big Block V8 lol.
Did it caught on fire?
A thunderbolt siren should sound high low when there's a fire!
There was no fire, he was referring to the smoke produced by the blower motor burning out
@@thespiritstingray9359 He probably knows, but he meant this as a joke.
"trial by fire!"
That's one sick thunderbolt *lol*
Corroded blower
FireBolt™
Is there a chance that it will get replaced? Hope not
It was fixed.
Sure great, don’t wait for me!
Oh yeah.. that's a healthy one! NICE
thank goodness this did not happen to my whelen siren
Mr stark I don't feel so good
1:59, the blower starts to sound extremely horrible and then finally quits at 2:04
R.I.P blower,wires
This video be a good Anti-Smoking Ad. Seeing the poor Thunderbolt smoke and get sick afterwards will compel smokers to ditch their tobacco.
It has to of been the belt because all the motors were still working and the tone of the siren changed.
How Did It Catch Fire
Burned belt
I thought it was going off on fire signal(hi lo)
Who wants a cooked blower moter for dinner?
2:06 blower starts to die
Oof that’s crazy
Silver street be like:
Aw, poor thing :(
It has since been fixed, blower motor was swapped after the old blower motor burned itself out.
he was smoking because he wasn't felling well, then he started screaming to let people know he was sick
He? It's literally just a big pile of metal it's not like it's Alive or something
We get it, you smoke.
Thunderbolt tried vaping and his lungs (blower) stopped working
Oh wiw
R.I.P. Blower.
According to a viewer the blower has been replaced today
@@OKARWXbrandon What a coincidence! Another 'bolt saved!
Yep
What’s the location of this bolt
South Moore, at EM Stat ems statiom
OKLAHOMA STORM CHASER ok thanks
Most likely a fire in the blower
It's not loud when it gets close
i seen one of these i mostly have whelen's tho
The belt probably blow up the blower
I hope they fix it.
Mike Holmstrom yeah
Did They Fix This Siren
Yes
Okay
2:05 Usually Old Thunderbolt Do that
The motor fried?
Also reverse wired
@@HSETM its not reverse wired
@@thespiritstingray9359 btw where is this?
@@thespiritstingray9359 A 2t killing a sqirrel, replace it with a whelen. This: NOPE!
It's in Moore Oklahoma at EMS in east moore
That's not smoke, it's just the single-use secondary visual alert.
It is smoke dude, the blower fried, and no thunderbolt siren can do that
@@apacb
>the joke
>your head
It’s very loud
Oh yeah
YIKES! something happened in the blower!
I think a burned belt because the blower still sounded like it was running but except without the belt running, that's why the blower changed tone because the pressure difference of air I'd assume, kind of like a burned broken belt inside a vacuum cleaner.
@@enderpea5251 not the belt the blower motor itself gave out.
rip thunderbolt belt
LOL
It was a good sounding siren until it bursted into flames
hey i did not know you watched this
@@Amdw119 I only saw this pop up on my phone and I watched this because I was curious
@@truckspotting7473 oh
Smokebolt
It Had To Much RED HOT CHILLY PEPPERS
Emílio
Oof
P.
Not good
That’s a tornado tone not a fire but ok
It was clearly a tornado tone, it was being tested. It's labeled fire because it practically caught fire, if not then just smoked from a burnt belt. Make sense now
@@OKARWXbrandon yes
Jesus it felt like the high pitch could not be heard by anyone else b
Siren head
Yeah
This is definitely not siren head, and its much older than the whole siren head fiasco
@@thespiritstingray9359 apparently siren head was originated in 1966

And was make in 2019
