  • Siren #1: FS Thunderbolt 1000T, 4 RPM, 486/583 Hz (the one in view)
    Town: Toluca, IL
    Location: N. Main St. and E. Via Ghiglieri
    Test Time: 1st Tuesday of the month 10 AM
    Cycles: 3 minutes of alert, then another 1 minute of alert.
    Siren #2: FS Thunderbolt 1000T, 2 RPM, 511/613 Hz
    Town: Toluca, IL
    Location: W. 3rd St. and N. Chestnut St.
    Test Time: 1st Tuesday of the month 10 AM
    Cycles: 3 minutes of alert, then another 1 minute of alert.
    Toluca, IL, probably the greatest siren town I've been to yet. In this small town of 1300, there are 4 Thunderbolts and an ACA Cyclone. The Cyclone was their original siren, and then they acquired the 4 Thunderbolts from Michigan for practically nothing in 2007. They all look really nice although it's kind of hard to tell in the video. Toluca is proud of them and takes real good care of them.
    The first test is done by the county and only the 4 Thunderbolts go off. The second test is done by the fire department and all 5 sirens go off then. I am standing between the 2 1000Ts at the very northern edge of town. The very northern one, which is the one the camera is pointing at during the tests, is sounding I believe at chopper 2 and rotates at 4 RPM, and the one directly behind me at the water tower is sounding at chopper 3. Also heard is a chopper 1 1000T on the east end of town at the school on Atchison Ave. and Walnut St. and then heard at some points, especially at 3:28, is a chopper 4 B-Series 1000T at the fire department at Railroad Ave. and Lincoln St. The Cyclone right in downtown is only heard during the second test.
    Here is a link to the map in the video of Toluca's 5 sirens. maps.google.co...

      Because, once a group of goblins called "The Goblins of Toluca" came, raided the town, killed the mayor, and peed in the mayors house and they caused a tornado to rip through the town, they had no sirens then, so they installed 4 thunderbolts to scare the goblins.
