Medfield, MA Fire Horn

Noon test (Box 2) of the Medfield, Massachusetts Fire Horn located on the roof of Town Hall (though it sounds like it has a cold right now). The horn sounds 2 blasts at noon and 9pm. Otherwise it sounds 3 rounds of Box 4-2-1 for fire calls. Medfield Fire is a combination career / on-call department.

It sounds 2 blasts at noon and 9 pm every day. Other than that, just box 4-2-1 for fire calls, which probably averages once or twice a week. It is located on top of the town hall in downtown Medfield, MA. The only other area town I know of that uses a fire horn is Dover, MA, but theirs seems to be used only intermittently (and apparently not during overnight hours due to resident complaints).

diaphone?

[wildwill24]

Yeah, I don't think it's a diaphone. I'll have to get a better recording from a different angle.

we live across the street from the fire station. they don't use the horns on top of the roof, just the fire klaxon.

Complaints? It's a goddamn fire alarm. There's a goddamn fire. Get your ass outta bed and make the firemen some coffee... Lazy tax payers.

[Federal3t22]

I can tell you that is not a Diaphone. It's some sort of diaphragm horn, if I had to guess some sort of Leslie Tyfon.
