Saltaire Volunteer Fire Company's Gamewell Diaphone Horn Test

The 1210 test of SVFC's Gamewell Diaphone Horn. Apparently the third set of Quick Call II tones isn't rescue, but rather for horn activation as the relay tripped before the DTMF was complete (listen closely). Fair Harbor FD's Model 7t and 5 can be heard, along with a radio test dispatch at the end of the recording.

That means it would have to be louder than the Chrysler air raid siren to be heard 30 miles away. But the Chrysler air raid siren is the loudest warning device in the world and can only be heard 25 miles away. The official Chrysler air raid siren website states that the Chrysler air raid siren is significantly louder than any other horn or whistle. So this diaphone being heard 30 miles away is bogus. Sorry 😕

Scary. Sounds like a louder version of the horn in my elementary school that used to sound during civil defense drills. Still gives me a chill as I can vividly remember going out into the hallways crouching down facing the wall with hands and arms over my head wondering if it could really be an actual attack about to happen instead of a drill.

The three Diaphones that Townsend, MA could be heard almost 10 miles north in Milford, NH (if you listened closely). Ashburnham, MA had them, along with Rockland, ME. The ones in Townsend were phased out in the early 1990's, the ones in Rockland were phased out in 2000, and the one in Ashburnham was phased out in 2006 (give or take 5 years..) All of which would make you jump when you least expected it. Most of them were tested at 8 a.m. and 6 pm.

@robcicero8746 2 жыл бұрын

Could be. I like the shorter 1/2 second blasts that are more set for fire. Also you hear the horn having dual tones in the first several blasts as the piston is being slammed by air. As the pressure drops it goes to a steady tone.

There was no warning at all, just nothing and then......BAMM! I have been searching for someone's recording of the LCFD horn for years and haven't found it.

Fire Island, Ocean Beach in the 70's and 80's was using a horn like this.. I was right down the block from the fire house, Denhoff Street.. one time it was a very foggy night, and the damn thing went off,, they had to peel me off then ceiling.. so scary that horn

@pandude53 4 жыл бұрын

Actually there were TWO versions of the Ocean Beach diaphone the first one being the most horrible and scary of them all. It was a lower tone with a brass piston that had a shift wobble and sickening grunt at the end. This was when the old firehouse was on the corner of Bayberry and the Midway. It sounded like an angry adult with a microphone scraping a balloon and the initial grace note was similar to this Saltair one. It took three tanks to blow this horn which had a 6 mile coverage and could be heard in the Pines. The second version was a high toned one with an aluminum piston and less unpleasant. and a new fire house was built on the Midway and Ocean Breeze where it stands now. There is now a regular Sentry siren instead and has been there since 2001.

I live in connecticut and the city that I lived in had 3 of these horns mounted on their main fire station. They sure got your attention when they went off.Now the horns are no longer there as all of the firemen have pagers or cell phones so the horns were no longer needed.
