They are supposed to. I don't have a license and I know that. You never know where the fire truck is going to go, so you pull over. I hope you don't have your license-asking that question.
Sounds to me that the siren needs either new cables or a better ground. It sounds like it gets half power, then goes suddenly up to full. Beautiful truck, though--Seagrave W-cab Rear Admiral. ;>)
We had a 1978 Seagrave P-cab pump that had that same problem, where if you stood on the Q pedal, it would go up to perhaps tenor range, stay there for a few seconds, then go up to maybe mezzo-soprano range, stay there for a few seconds, then finally go up to full blast. This truck does the same thing around 2:50. After we replaced the cables leading from the pedals to the siren, the Q would go right up to upper-soprano range with no problem.
you gotta have a playlist going for example we got, Burnin down the house, ring of fire, i didnt start the fire, the fireman by george strait and the other by lil wayne
did the guy @ 0:41 make the truck?

With the siren off, then this fire engine would sound like an MCI MC-9 coach.
ClassicTVFan82 4 years ago
The powertrain is a Detroit Diesel 8V-71 and Allison HT-740D. Correct?
