Nice video! I was catching the ambience of the Greenfield park P-50. Which surprisingly did both alert and attack this time! Also surprised it wasn't replaced by then. I guess it takes longer than I thought to replace 59 sirens in Milwaukee.
It did. The blower is dying. Another video showing the close up of this sirens blower reveals that the speed of the blower is dropping. (Especially during attack) I won't be surprised if this sirens blower calls it quits in a year or less. And the county plans to just let it seize and once it does, they will remove it and a T-128 which will be installed at ASC headquarters a few blocks from this siren will take over the coverage for that area. Really sucks too because despite the blowers condition, it can be repaired. These sirens weren't the most reliable to begin with though.
@@zachzebra56 Yeah, I saw that video. It's really a shame that they don't want to repair this piece of history, I bet it's just not a huge deal to the fire department that this is the last one in service worldwide and that people probably come to see it for nearly every test. I have it on my siren bucket list, but I may have to take it off soon.
@@MichanaAlerting I don't even know if the fire department is responsible for maintaining or even owning that siren. Since it's one of the 60 sirens in Milwaukee. I'm sure the EMA and SWS is responsible for operating and maintaining that siren. I totally agree with you. This is the LAST commercially operated hurricane in the U.S. and it should be restored and preserved as a historical piece. It's gonna attract a lot of attention mainly from siren enthusiasts like you said. While they don't have to set it off for a real tornado warning (or any emergency requiring the use of the city sirens), it should still go off for months tests. Like that one 10/12 banshee that got indirectly replaced by a T-121 but still does weekly (or monthly?) testing.
Despite the blower dying, the siren itself is in really good working shape. Too bad Milwaukee is just gonna let the blower seize up and then take it down once it does.
@@Blue10AEMia completely fair, but you’ve also said nothing is wrong with it at the same time. Not technically true, it’s just not impeding function yet. Sorry for the long rant, man. I mean no disrespect.

Can I use this video in my compilation?

This was tested on my birthday and I was making another hurricane!
Did it slowly get quieter throughout the test? That blower doesn't sound like it's got much left in it

Nice recording
It sounds very healthy!

@@zachzebra56I'm sure someone will buy it once they take it down.
@@bkriegel95 Ya same here.
That’s nice
Nice!
Still runs.
Still chugging
Yeah… uh, about that. (Obviously still works, but for how long)

Not as efficient as it should. But still works!
@@Blue10AEMia have you heard the blower…? It sounds terrible.
@@TheSleepyMechanic0524 people have been saying this siren is going to die for the past 10 years and it's still going

I was at the whitefish bay Allertor and it failed
Me too man
@@TheSirenGeek wow didn't expect you to reply lol but I only saw ACA fan 101 there
More than likely, it had to do with the new DTMF tones they are using.
Nice catch
