cool!she sounds pretty healthy!

macomb,IL has a couple of these as well as colchester,IL.

very nice siren!

[murrfarms]

@ilikstikz7804 Yup, Mactown has 2 (one single-phase and one three-phase), Colchester has their 2T22 (three-phase) across the street from the SD-10, and LaHarpe also has a 2T22 (three-phase) right beside a Model 5. Did you ever see the Model 5 on the fire station in Table Grove before it got replaced with a T-128 up the road?

[ilikstikz7804]

@murrfarms,no wish i had!

[murrfarms]

@ilikstikz7804 Well you're in luck, you can now! lol

Not much of a video as far as running up, but at least you can see it: /watch?v=cKjTZ-uwlcg

[dillonrockband]

Nice vid!!

How come the flag was halfway up?

[GoEflight]

the actual sound starts at 3:00 if you wanna just skip to it

[selearemus]

why is it called tornado siren? if the city is attacked they wont call it tornado siren -.-"

[cauberallies]

Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. This is a great sounding siren.

[Archon2561]

This siren might be on a phase convertor

[murrfarms]

Actually, this one's a three phase model that's probably running on 208V. It has the Baldor three phase motor on it.

What day and time do these test?

[clavettr]

@el1998p71 These test the first Saturday each month at 1:00 pm

[el1998p71]

Ok, thanks.

Does that go for the whole county?

[TheFiremansavage]

@el1998p71 what are you talking about

[el1998p71]

@TheFiremansavage What are you asking?

I only asked if that city tests the first saturday at 1pm and does every other city in that county do the same for testing their sirens if they have them.

[TheFiremansavage]

@el1998p71 uh no most other cities in the us do it at different times this isnt communism

[el1998p71]

@TheFiremansavage I could care less about the rest of the countries test days/times. I'm asking about for up in his area ONLY.

Or did you miss that I asked that?

[crazywarriorman]

Sounds just like a carter.

[Siren1000T1]

I didn't know Big Rapids had a 2T22. They use to have an old T-bolt on the Collage campus but it got replaced by a Modulator.

More like that's our siren to get out of BR because Spring Break started haha. Definitely woke me up yesterday.
