People who live near the West Point Volunteer Fire Company in Greensburg have had enough of a fire siren that keeps going off.

I believe the Model 2 is the only "legacy" siren Federal still makes. All their other classics like the STH, STL, Thunderbolt, Models 3,5,7, and the "T" series of each are no longer made. All new designs. If you are ever lucky enough to get your hands on one of these, you have a piece of history. Well worth the price of restoring.

Have any of these people thought to consider maybe the siren goes off several times a day because that's how many emergencies that fire company gets in a day? If you actually taught your children what the siren means, they wouldn't be scared of it. Ignorance at its finest out of these residents. SMH

Too many chronic complainers today. Its happening everywhere. I believe one community was carrying on about the train horns. The blowing was eliminated or reduced then a fatality occurred on a crossing. We have sirens in towns around here. They go off each day to announce 12:00 noon and when there are fire or emergency calls. There are many homes in these towns next to a main East-West R.R. line. The residences adapt to the crossing blows and it doesn't bother them. Chronic complainers are not an asset to any community. Apparently they never had a real problem in their lives.

@@kristinabliss It's really simple. The outdoor warning siren is responsible for summoning the volunteer firefighters to the fire station. Some fire departments don't use radio pagers and rely only on the siren, while others use the siren as a layer of redundancy in case of a pager radio failure. The siren featured in this video is a Federal Model 2, which is a very small type of outdoor warning siren, and it is not loud enough to be worth complaining about. Not compared to other models available.

"It scares their kids." Cry me a river you wussies! I grew up around the block from a firehouse that had a loud air horn along with the siren. These setups were used everywhere when I was growing up. They were loud as hell and I loved it as a kid! Still do. Sadly, most of them are now gone from where I am. All that noise was one of the things that made me join the fire department.

That’s a really quiet siren, and a low tone too. Our hall has an STH-10, and has woken up our crew multiple times. Would have scratched otherwise. As well as a backup, it alerts the town that the fire department is responding, both to the caller, and to those in the area to watch for blue lights, and our case, runners.

Oh for heaven sakes, my parents ran with the Fire Department and Ambulance Base when I was a kid. Spent many hours at the fire hall. They use to have a Federal Model 7T. You wanna talk about loud? Ouy! Near the Ambulance Base was an STH-10. Even louder because it had the projector horns, and it spun at a higher RPM than the 7T. That thing freaked me out even while inside the building. Yes I was scared of them when I was a little kid but now I look back and think, “What the hell was I so scared of?”

Dravosburg #2 (shut down early 2000’s) had the same issue with its other siren located in an old lady’s front yard. Back in the late70’s-early 80’s, her twin spinster daughters complained and filed a lawsuit to have it removed. Majority of our ambulance calls though were for their mother so, of course, every time they called 911, the siren would go off to alert the firefighters. That siren was one of the only ways to alert members living in that part of the district since monitors and pagers were scarce.

"I bought a house next to the fire department and now I want the fire department to stop" like get fucking real. These are the same people that buy a house next to an airport and complain about all the plane noise. YOU decided to move there and the fire department was there long before you were even a thought. Get over it or move, the world doesn't revolve around you just because you have to hear a siren that indicates someone is in life-threatening danger and needs help. I mean seriously, I bet she wouldn't be saying shit if it were her house that was burning.
