[FireBuff51]

I wonder why Roto-Rays are so popular back east? Out here in California, you hardly see 'em. They look ugly as sin to me. LOL

[xxxjordanlentzxxx]

@FireBuff51 just like the power call. very popular siren on east coast. i don't believe it's used as much out in Cali. is it?

[FireBuff51]

@xxxjordanlentzxxx actually, they have Powercall sirens on a lot of rigs out here. Still haven't seen a Roto-Ray, though. I'll keep looking! LOL

[xxxjordanlentzxxx]

@FireBuff51 oh cool. i don't know why some people hate the sound of a powercall. i like it

[FireBuff51]

@xxxjordanlentzxxx yep. Me too! There are some engines out here that run a Q and Powercall simultaneously. Grabs your attention. LOL

[xxxjordanlentzxxx]

@FireBuff51 that's one of the best siren combos i feel 

[danwat1234]

Cute rotating nose.

[bobcats330]

i dont know if there is any tillers in oklahoma, we also dont really use rotorays. they seem like an east coaster thing. not saying that they are not cool or anything, tulsa fire has a 3 light vector on some ladders

[stevenew95]

so i never got what the point was of the spinning lights on the front...

[mcfrs]

@stevenew95

LOL! Its called a roto-ray. Very popular on new rigs. Its purpose is to grab the attention of other drivers, especially at night.

[stevenew95]

@mcfrs well i knew what it was called but i think its just a waste i mean if you see a really big truck coming at you with flashing lights a a Q siren i would get the fuck out of the way i just dont think there is a point for it

[RFD945]

@stevenew95 a lot of people don't have that mind set & even with the Q, Air horn & the big truck people set there & look at you funny or just keep driving not even bothering to move. How ever i have scene a new article where a man didn't move over & it was his house on fire slowed first due engine by & minutes lost his hole house

Carma

But thank you for moving over & more people should, but it don't happen like it should< Actually 3 days ago someone cut are engine off going down the freeway

[Money0Dude]

[FreedomofSpeech12]

@Money0Dude It is called a tiller.

[kendallwallace1]

the fire deparment of erfurt tested the wail ,mixed with our german martin horn.sounds well..but mixed with the Q it would be much better i think

[FOGBIT44]

Yes, made be Federal Signal.

[301whitehall]

@Dorni2405 Not a type but a specific model. Federal Signal Corporation's model Q2B electro-mechanical siren.

[epiphonelp100g]

@Dorni2405 yep

[JoHnIsThEmAn287]

they still got box alarms like ones you pull and they got to it ? like on a power line pole or sumthing like that??

[4whelrkd23]

some places like boston and new york have them. they are called pull boxes. im not sure a bout pg though.

[TheFire34fighter]

@JoHnIsThEmAn287 a box is the term given to structure fires that gets 4 engines and 3 trucks(or 2 trucks 1 squad)...we do not have any pull boxes like the olden days they don't really exist any more.
