Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T Fire Station 27

that one looks a lot different than the rest of the thunderbolts.

@Branden2732 small horn thunhderbolts were produced to make a quieter noise, but it failed to do so, so its the same as other thunderbolts

B series! Nice catch!

My city just got rid of it's last thunderbolt. Yeah whelens are louder and don't need as much maintanance, but it is still a shame to me. Nothing gets your attention like the roar of a 1000T!

We have a 1003 in Massena Ny that still sits on the tower next to the fire station but is out of service. THAT SUCKS!!! They just go with their pagers now.

odd looking thunderbolt, but sounds awesome!

[mohkfry]

Awesome video, Wonder why they took the end of the horn off.

This Thunderbolt 1000T looks like a mashup of a 1000 Horn and a large B Series Chopper are the other Thunderbolt 1000Ts like this one and my city of Minneapolis MN will be replacing thier system of Thunderbolt 1000Ts in the next couple of year's too but a user who lives here has recorded about half of the system already most of the Thunderbolts are 4/5 Port Models this one sounds like a 4/5 Port Model

Haha, awesome. Now I don't have to drive way up there to get it eventually. Nice work dude.

[carexpertandy]

It's nice to know this Thunderbolt is still active!

Thanks for filming the mutant 1000T that's on the Siren Archive.

Do you know what Denver plans to do with the old sirens?

[rockbrcavs]

@dillonrockband I do not know as of yet. We will have to wait until they replace these Thunderbolts.

[dogbuddy555]

does denver test their sirens year round?

[rockbrcavs]

@dogbuddy555 Yes, every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 11:00 A.M. Mountain time.

Holy crap, what in the heck did they do to that poor thing? It looks extremely goofy without the end bell of the horn on it, and it kind of has a slightly different (almost tinny) tone to it. Very nice video, and sad to hear they're soon replacing all these awesome creatures.
