It's primarily a regional thing. Whether it's called a fire whistle or a fire siren depends on which part of the country you're in. Like you, I live in a region where it's called a siren (except by people who've relocated here from a long ways away). And, yes, as pipesmoker says, there's a generational component too (the "old timers").
The cycle time seems to be a bit shorter than the one in Forestville, NY. Does this one go off at noon, or just emergencies? Forestville FD sounds one cycle at 1200 each day. I think the siren/whistles are awesome.
This is also a tornado siren
They sound the siren for no reason
The Federal Signal Model 5. A siren I have personally heard.
Sounds like a whelen
Earrape siren
Location of Siren: 36°03'25.1"N 81°16'03.1"W
Model 5 / 7
I just play this to hear my dog howl to.
It looks like this one has a similar set up to a Model 7 siren in Los Angeles.
exactly I live in the Los Angeles area
Model 5. That’s my guess
Siren: goes off
Everyone: OK boomer
Damnit!!!! I came to say that. Well played, sir.
@@bubbabearhuntington2295 That's Ma'am to you, Bubba Bear Huntington.
to be exact that's a SIREN not a WHISTLE
It drives me crazy when they can't make that distinction!
you do realize there is a whistle on fire sirens right
