First one sounds like a real firetruck, second on sounds like police car, third one sounds like a fake firetruck and the last one sounds like another police car..
Am I close? I mean, I know squat about sirens. ;-)
I love that Saanich uses the Q... so does Esquimalt and Colwood. Everyone else seems to stick with the Wail and occasional Yelp. Victoria is the worst for monotone siren use- all VFD trucks have Q's on them- and NEVER get used. What a waste of a few thousand dollars....
Nice! The first truck was actually a KME, not ALF, and had the Q and Code 3 siren. The Batallion sounds like a Unitrol siren, but could be a whelen with the unitrol yelp. The third truck (the truck) was a spartan with the EQ2B, you were right on that. The fourth (the Tanker) is an International/E-one and has a PA300, not Code 3. Look over the rear wheels, and you'll see the E-one logo. Hope this helps.

Glad my useless knowledge could help someone, rather than rattling it off to look smart (which i am hahaha)

Odd that they are running a PA300 with a 200watt eQ siren grill on the front bumper of that International.
At least they have one "real siren" in the bunch!
Great catch!!

thank you
they hardly use the q2b, don't know why
starcraftguy1 2 years ago
Your kidding??? A siren that actually moves traffic vs electronic noise pollution.. Crazy!
911caddy 2 years ago 12
i think they use the q2b only for intersections
i do hear a lot of eq2b and sometimes eq2b on yelp
i think they should try out powercall... do you?

the tanker could also be a Superior
Superior is the Canadian E-One
starcraftguy1 2 years ago
Actually, you are right, It does say Superior on it, the Logos look identical, cuz like you said, its the Canadian E-one.
rykember11 2 years ago 4
@starcraftguy1 Oh yea, I totally forgot about that, and and now that I looked, it is superior.

Five stars for the noise, 4 and a half for the filming. It rounds up to 5 either way!
