Sterling 2V8 Fire Siren

This is a refurbished Sterling 2V8 240 volt siren. We rebuilt the siren that had not ran in more than 15 years. We then installed a AR timer and we hooked up the old Motorola receiver to see if it still worked and it did. The siren is located at the Long Creek Fire Dept in Huntersville NC. It is still unclear if they will use it for fire calls or only for storm warnings.

I recall our Fire Hall had the same monitor receiver for out pagers and fire siren activation. I guess everyone did.

Our Hall siren was a double tone unit.. Sounded awesome with a really long coast after power was turned off. I miss those days!!

When are you going to fix Steele Creek station one's siren? Now that's one loud siren. Is it really an aca screamer? It sounded just like a model 5!

Very nice video and I like the idea of restoring some of these sirens for storms-this state needs a better storm siren system. I wish some of them would get set up in the east.
