@byronge14 The siren on that truck was heavily used.And it's still in service.

That is a huge fire station. It's pretty awesome looking!

Wow, that's a big fire station!

All the above. I don't use my fire pager unless I'm on the road.so around the station or at home I depend and rely on the outdoor siren

@fmartinjr Fits that truck beautifully, Keep them running strong!

@oxlab We have it all

its a Vfirefighter siren, just in case pagers arent heard, it may be used for other things idk

Oh I remember this week in the east coast.

thats freaky! like earie when the tonrnado siren is sounding

damn big station

@rock4334 Well ,this community is not frequented with tornadic activity.So the only indicator would be any surviving sirens in the area sounding longer than usual.

@fmartinjr That would be great! ?Thanks!

nice one frank!

@FirefighterEmt4Life That SVP is worn out!!!! But hey,rock it till it burned out.

@shadyryan0740 The officers wanted it in correspondence for radio transmissions

STH 10 Siren

@TheJNix22 quite an average size station for us :) You must know our station isn't the biggest here, but we have 4 Engines, 2 Tankers, 3 Aerial Ladders (each 100ft.), 1 Heavy Rescue, 1 Technical Rescue, 1 Water/Heights Rescue, 1 Command, 6 Chief cars, 6 transport vans and trucks, and also 3 container trucks with 14 contaienrs with all the specialized equipment (like radiation protection or frozen CO²). This year we get another new Tanker, and in 2013 2 new Rescue Engines

@TheJNix22 well that's a big difference between the US and Germany: In the US there are many smaller stations around the city, here are quite few but big stations. That big station in my city is the only full-time station, and in case of bigger call they get supported by the volunteer FD (4 departments with 11 stations, normally with (Rescue-) Engine and group carrier), and also the three factory FD (BMW, Infineon and Continental). Last but not least there's also a fire-fighting school

@joemagliari It's a good feeling ain't it.Especially on a humid low cloud ceiling day.

well very important that is saved

@fmartinjr yes , is freaky

@EnjoyFirefighting You sir must work in heaven! :) lol my city has seven stations with different aparatus in each one. Station 1 has rescue 1, engine 1, and the ladder. Station 2 has two engines, station 3 has rescue 2, an engine, and the hazmat unit, and so on. I only live in a town of 55,000 so we dont get too many toys lol but we recently got 2 brand new rescue trucks. Beautiful.

OH HELL YEAH! Listen to that electronic start up at 1:37! Ahaha classic sound!

@fmartinjr set it for hi-lo too...

@Quickcall I'll have to sneak in there one day(the security room) to find out because I have no idea.That room is off limits to fmartinjr because they know I'll set that siren to blast for 10 minutes.

@usarmyboy8 we cover a city area of 32 sq mi / 81 km². It is the only career / full time station in the city (there are 7 small stations from the volunteer fire departments + 3 factory dire departments, but they normally don't run the average calls, just when we need support) Besides the city we sometimes respond to support Volunteer FD in the County, e.g. when they need another Aerial Ladder or an Heights Rescue Truck

There is no 3t22's in my area. But there is (1) model 2 four miles away,not sure if they use it still.I'll check out the model 2.And that Water Rescue truck used to be an ambulance,and a HazMat Squad before we got it for Water Rescue.She's been over due for replacement!

That siren on the station is just plain creepy.

Have you guys introduce a paging system like we have hear in Australia?

@byronge14 wtf does it sound like?

I thought I saw a set of water ski's on that boat..lol...

Holy crap thats a gigantic station!! hahaha I wanna check it out :)

Nice diaphone's! The STH-10B (?) sounds sick. :(

What kind of station alerting system is that sounding at the start of the video? Who makes it?

@shadyryan0740 On the back roof.Why'd you take your comment down boy!?

Question how did u guys get a pre alert in the station like that with the alarm before the dispatch is it hooked to a radio or pager ?

I know every place is different but that flood siren sounds so much like an air raid siren. I know in Oklahoma we use klaxon sirens.

i have a 2T22 and a 3T22 within I would estimate a good 10-20 miles of where I am. There used to be a screamer like 5 miles from me and idk what happened to it. Nevermind, it was a model 3 and a fire bell. I swear to god it was a screamer.

Y did EMS tow the boat....?

@GayBoyRunning No offense taken.The siren on the Marine Rescue truck is beat as dirt.This vehicle was a medic ambulance,a HazMat Squad,and now a Marine Rescue truck.And it's from the early 1990's. And for a volunteer fire station in the United States,thats surrounded by 6 other different companies within 1 to 3 miles away.So this is big enough for around here..,..matter of fact, too big.

volunteers run, paid guys walk.

What is the in station buzzer alert, and how do you guys have it hooked up?

STH-10B

quick question. how does the community know the difference from a house siren and a tornado warning

I'm a fan of the federal model 2-240 and the 3t22. Mr. Martin is there any way you could record a video of either for me? I'm also a fan of Mill Creek's Model 5. Your Water rescue ssounds like it needs replaced

Shares traits of UFO footage...think real hard!

@GayBoyRunning ????? say wha

@GayBoyRunning no did you see that guy in the truck he was HAULIN ASS!!

what year is she?. I'll buy it from you guys if you don't want it. Did you check outthat model 2?

I know you Have a federal signal & siren co Model STH-10. Suggest replacing the Rescue with a Seagrave. Those are som pretty durable trucks. Pierce is a good option too. I know Yorkanna In York County, Pennsylvania Has a Model 2. I had a picture of it before my computer crashed. The model 2 you're tallking about dosen't need to activate.

@GayBoyRunning at leasst there haulin ass.
