As for the airhorns, they were Grover Studders and actually were tuned by personnel at the station. since they resided on the roof, having the windows down made for a very clear sound of them. That is why I can't hear some things these days, from the American LaFrance equipment we had at our station.
Jeff was the Chief of Operations when the video was posted. As for the music, it was added to cover up some unwanted verbal comments made during the trip to Ellicott City, MD. Sorry if you think it ruined it, but it was inserted to protect from the conversation and comments being made going down the road.
As for Station 2 Long Gate, yes they drove right thru where the Station exist today, the small ramp going off Rt 29 was such, you could travel relatively fast.
The original tape was VHS and that is why the siren sounds the way it does, with the standard mic. The tape was made from Enigne 72, which was a 1972 American LaFrance, so the tape was done pre 1980. The driver this day was Retired Firefighter 1st class RicKY Barnes and with Lt. Jeffery King riding shotgun. Between the two, they provided the sounds effects of airhorns and siren. Both were known to use those tools in a great amount..

I think its old in comparision to today. But this video is from atleast late 80s or early 90s. So it's mostly like fairly new when this was shot.
