[FIREHORNorDIE]

Best siren made!

[iwnproductions]

sounds like woodbury hights siren. i should know. my grandmom lives not even a 1/2 a m,ile away. it went off 30t frm me one time. i will never forget that

[trainz675]

when was this siren last activated before this sound off?

[doglover101991]

go tomy your youtube channel and watch the lighting i shoot onw day last week

[danll5]

Man she may be rusty but she sounds great, very impressive siren. Old federal signal sirens = win

[Anticyclonic]

Dang, that muddafukka's loud. Cool videos and channel.

[madgamer248]

yikes pretty old a little bit of paint should do the job

[resinator1fag]

how long was it not running for??

[ohbobsaget22]

nice video!

[bait28]

nice to see coments are back. hey charlie, i'm going to be building a storm alret 1004 just like yours. could you give me some adivce and help?

[lilman45217]

Ok, just let me know when. Thanks! :-)

[JrFireFighter1544]

Yeah! How long was it out of service Charlie D?

[soccerdude7330]

I don't really know for sure, maybe a good 15 years or so.

[JrFireFighter1544]

Wow! 15 years? That explains all the rust on top of it. That siren could use some refurbishing/cleaning.

[JrFireFighter1544]

How old is that siren?

Wow, an F-4 tornado! Those bastards are huge!

[lilman45217]

Where can I buy sirens for use at my own house, like in your 26 minute tornado warning video?

[soccerdude7330]

Me, when I come across some more ;)

[seawind0721]

IT sounds good, but it looks like that old siren could use a little TLC!

[CoolBalla15]

Great sounding Model 5, Charlie.

[bigbluecrane5]

hey coolballa15 elevatorsaregreat just flagged your 2001 dc video i am pissed at him

[gatrwrks]

Our VFD's model 5 sounds the same as this one.

[SuperWeaves]

Sounds like a federal 2001

[Thunderbirds76]

12 port

[SuperWeaves]

@Thunderbirds76 whats that?

[Thunderbirds76]

This siren sounds like a 2001 because they are both 12 port.

[Jared1452]

Because 2001's are supercahrged Model 5's. It has the same chopper as the model 5. It's just a rotational version.

[crazywarriorman]

@Jared1452 This chopper is a bit different than that of a normal Model 5's or a 2001's.

[Jared1452]

Oh mybad. I thought they had the same choppers. Was it the new model 5's built in the 80 & 70's that had a similer chopper that was used in the 2001?

[crazywarriorman]

@Jared1452 I belive so.

[CCFRPUMPER111]

I remember that EF-4... my Aunt lives in Murffresburrow... and it went right by her house...

[firealarm211]

nice sounding felecode!

[keoghjacob]

This fedelcode have a damper?

[soccerdude7330]

Not real sure, when I got up in the ladder truck to take a look at it, I couldn't see inside the top but I remember one of the guys saying something about a solenoid, so I'm not real sure yet.

[kjhs09]

Damn old siren. How rotten is the support structure

[soccerdude7330]

It's actually in very good shape! All it needs is a good coat of paint. The supports are also in great condition.

[stormspotters]

may need to replace that lol a severe thunderstorm with 60mph winds comes along and topples that ruins the siren and it wasnt even a tornado

[soccerdude7330]

Nah that sucker is sturdy. It's not going anywhere at all anytime soon.

[SirenSynthsInc]

How Long has it been since the solenoid on this thing has been In Operation?

[NJFire1906]

no i really like the siren!

[NJFire1906]

wow not bad.......:D}

[Froggo2103]

Oh I also ours only does the attack mode b/c thats the only relay we got it set up for.. Push just one button 1 time it goes off for like 5 min...5 min for everytime you push the button..lol the twp loves us for structure fires..it gets pushed like 5 times..lol

[Froggo2103]

The model 5's must have been a popular siren back in the day for Vol Fire Depts b/c we got one at our station and i've seen a couple other depts that have them here in Ohio..its just as old i bet but it still works and is in great shape. Maybe i could get a vid of it soon on here for ya'll.

[Jared1452]

Hundereds of VFDs have them and STL/STH-10's were Federal's top 3 fire sirens back in the day :). Where I live Hecktown VFD PA , Tested it's STL-10 love hearing it from a distance.

[Trainman11185]

the fire station in the town I live in has one too

[Siren1000T1]

Man that is WAY too long of an Attack Signal timing after the wind up. At least it still sounds healthy for such of an old ass siren that is.

[ginomw]

That looks old.

[Federal3t22]

Awesome video Charlie. Glad to hear this classic is back in service.

[xDjAsOnF]

how come u disabled ur ratings?

[crazywarriorman]

Great video! Love the sound of these old things. Looks like mine too.

[djscrizzle]

I found a PDF of this upcoming (at the time) test on Rutherford County's website. Thanks for grabbing videos of this Charlie!

[JohnAlex98]

wen r u gonna make system test 17?

[lckyboyo]

awesome!

[dillonrockband]

nice vid, Charlie!

[ghostdrew1]

i miss are stations siren lol

[RyanTheHermVixen]

Its good to see an old relic put back into service instead of being scrapped. Sounds awesome.

[gatrwrks]

Very cool! Thanks for making this video dude.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Excellent video of that Fedelcode 5A, Charlie!

[MVFD4]

Nice

[JustInn014]

Nice video.

[CelticDragon0]

How old is that siren?

[soccerdude7330]

I was told that it is around 40 years old.

[CelticDragon0]

Damn...looks much older

[CrazySirenBoy]

With the FEDELCODE tag, I would almost guarantee it is older than that. I've only seen FEDELCODE tags on siren from the Federal Electric era, and that would be up until the late 1940s.

[gerbilPROJECT]

im 40th viewer

[trainman794]

wrong

[soccerdude7330]
