Model 5 or 7 or Erick Siren 9:00PM Blast

[Thewoog34]

Based on the very slow wind-up and wind-down along with the low amount of reverb, that was the Erick going off.

why the hey are there 3 tornado sirens thats crazzyyy!!

[fireguy1000000]

That Model 2001 has been up thee for a short time. I remember when there was a Thunderbolt just off to the left of the water tower about 200 feet away and yes, I have heard all 3 sirens going off during a storm back in the 1980's. I wish I had a video or audio of that.

[JustBearWithMe]

sounds like an STH10, is that because of the same number of ports?

[JPa311979]

@JustBearWithMe Most single tone sirens sound the same to me! It depends mostly on motor RPM.

@JPa311979

The siren you are hearing in this video is a classic Erick fire siren. I've heard one in person on my way to school when I was on campus at South Williamsport Jr./Sr. High School sounding for a chimney fire. The Erick fire siren company made these sirens in the 1930s and the one I heard and the one you heard are 2 of maybe millions of sirens nationwide! Sweet video by the way! Classic vintage siren sound!

nice

[JPa311979]

@firepipernickb Thanks!

[tycoonkid9]

When do the others sound?

[JPa311979]

@tycoonkid9 They would use the 2001 for an emergency and one of the sirens for the 9PM sounding.

[CorvetteLoverZR1]

Does the one at the bottom ever activates?

[JPa311979]

@CorvetteLoverZR1 I think they only use the FS 2001 and one of the sirens on the tower.

[iwnproductions]

tower of sirens, a 2001, a model 5 and an older model 5

[fireguy1000000]

I remember it not taking so long to wind up in earlier years. I wonder it is possible to rebuild these sirens?

[troshs]

holy shit theres three sirens right there lol

[Worcester2007]

there's two sirens on the tower, is one for the noon blast? is this one just a curfew siren? Also they looked dented or bent.

[JPa311979]

Ya only one siren on that tower sound.

[Worcester2007]

@JPa311979 I ll have to ride over here and see if I can get the noon blast if there is one. I tried taking video of the Osseo's noon blast not too far from here but it's timer is malfunctioning.

[Worcester2007]

@JPa311979 I went here today and it did not sound at noon, does this only sound at 9pm?

[JPa311979]

@Worcester2007 I don't think I've ever heard it sound at noon.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Great video of that Erick siren,! :)

[JPa311979]

I was told in an earlier comment that it was the Erick, but it was difficult for me to tell even when I was there. I would like to ask the people in charge to find out for sure. There is a fire and police station next to the tower.

[Blue10AEMia]

They didn't make dual tone ericks...

[bearlovesox]

Decot used dual tone and Erick disagreed with dual tone.

[cauberallies]

It sounds like a Model 5. I've never heard an Erick, but that's a Model 5 if I've ever heard one.

[euphoria0311]

That's a beautiful wind down! Love it!

[garyhstorms09]

Do you know of any other sirens that do a 9:00PM curfew blast in Minnesota also iwhen i was 15 yrs old i heard a Thunderbolt 1000T in the distance at 9:00PM but it was by some sort of plant when i went to a camp it a YMCA camp it was located in independence MN in western Hennepin County

[80fireman]

sounds like an STH-10

[poppinoncrackvideos]

Indeed.

[carexpertandy]

Awesome video of the Erick siren John!

[JPa311979]

Thanks Andy!

[JustInn014]

Very nice Erick siren. It sounds just like a Model 5.

Is the 2001 next to it used for tornadoes?

[JPa311979]

They use the 2001 for tornadoes, never heard the model 5 or 7.

[DigitalEagleInc]

a 2001, an Erick siren, & a model 5? wow thats an awful lot of sirens in one sector, imagine how all three would sound going off together.

[JPa311979]

I think that is the Erick that sounded, not the model 5 or 7. right?

[DigitalEagleInc]

yes it was the Erick that sounded, the other two remained silent

[Audinos]

...and all three are 12 port sirens sounding almost exactly the same pitch.
