    Even after all these years of sitting dormant that thing still sounds healthy! It is a testament to American engineering. I hope in the future these sirens can be put to use again and I hope this incident doesn’t bring the end of this sirens existence.

    Great moment for the siren community, we've finally heard what both a real Scream Master (in this incident) and a real rotating CLM (Canadian sirens, one was found still active for a small village's volunteer fire dept.) sound like

  • @valrabellkeys9867
    @valrabellkeys9867 3 роки тому +57

    I'd like to reinforce my point at the end. This incident goes to show that many of these sirens around Sacramento are still serviceable. With controller upgrades, these sirens could be reactivated into a cost efficient fully functional system to help warn against the ever evolving dangers of wildfires. I know of people who can do this type of work so it is possible, with the right people. Granted, some new sirens would ideally have to be added to fill coverage gaps and replace a few completely defective units, but it is FAR cheaper than a brand new system and I'd say it would be worth every penny.

    • @valrabellkeys9867
      @valrabellkeys9867 3 роки тому +1

      @zenithchromo The chances of someone causing a false alarm is incredibly slim. The entire control set can be replaced with an FC and the associated motor starters/contactors. The FC can have a built in receiver, though I don't know if it has the encryption options a dedicated radio would have. The best option would be for it to run off one of the city's existing city wide repeaters.

      Mhm, due to the other comment on this video I posted but not being sent due to most likely the youtube bot thought my comment was spam, I would like to also add on that this siren went on for 30+ minutes without any pitch drops or problems (for the siren itself at least). Even the E.D. Bullard siren on the California Fruit Building was activated without any problems too! All they need is a new coat of paint and they're good to go.

    Sirens can still be used today for modern emergencies. Out there in CA, you guys get wildfires and earthquakes. The coast could see a tsunami. For wildfires or tsunamis, they could be sounded for a mandatory evacuation. Hawaii has sirens for tsunamis. Midwest uses them for tornadoes. Other states use them still for Volunteer Fire Departments. Helps to notify their members that don't have cell or pager service, or letting drivers nearby that emergency vehicles will be coming out.

    These systems are still active because they're more reliable than TV and radio TV and radio do not alert you if you're outside only if you're inside this is an outdoor warning system this is so like when this sounds off you're supposed to go to your TV or your radio and get updates on the emergency situation they're still active then they need to be cleaned up in the tech that uses them needs to be updated
