Lomax and Calvert Street Siren in Easton, MD tops 100 decibels in December 5, 2009 Test

This is the first siren video shot since acquiring a sound level meter. It was recorded during a weekly test of the Talbot County Emergency Management Imminent Danger Signal (30 seconds) followed by the All Clear signal. During the test this particular air raid type siren fluctuated between 94 and 102 decibels. This is the fourth siren mounted on a pole that we have documented in Easton. Three face neighborhoods and one is located at the actual fire station (which also borders a couple of neighborhoods). Two minutes of rising and falling sirens is used to summon the local volunteer fire department which responded to over 1,000 calls in 2008. That 2,000 minutes of 100 decibel sirens each year for these neighborhoods

@VMFA115Starloric the funny thing is, the town I'm from used to have these sirens. Then they moved into the 21st century and got these funny little devices called scanners, so people would know that there was an emergency without everyone around them going deaf.
