As a request, I got permission from the fire chief to set this siren off for me. This is a 10/12 Port Federal Sign and Signal 500AT running in Attack signal which is what they use everyday for fire calls. According to Ron W's information, This siren was first installed in March of 1970 which was used as a Tornado Siren back then and this siren replaced an old Sterling that apparently got damaged by a lightning strike. This siren also got refurbished in 2008 and still remains at the Dundee Fire Dept. I hope you all enjoy.

  • what siren replaced this as being a tornado siren or do they still use it as a tornado siren?

  • @acahurricane1275 The description should say that this siren is still in use for fire calls. There is a Modulator a block away from this station which is used as a Tornado Siren and is also part of Monroe County's Tornado Siren System.

  • why is the rotator like that

  • @2001scoop I have no idea. I thought it was amazing.

  • single phase or three phase siren ?,, very nice :D

  • @alfareifaldy I am guessing it's 3 phase. If it is, then it's a AT. If single phase, then it would be a BT.

see all
