  • my county uses a1/a2/a3

  • how does that work? I dont understand that

  • interesting vid, but i'm curious as to why there are so many tones put out (multiple departments?)...rural departments around here use one or two sets of tones to dispatch a particular dept.

  • The Mount Carmel Fire Department is made up 4 Engine Companies, 1 Truck Company, Rescue and Squad Company, Fire Police, and EMS each with their own tone, plus tones for Department Chief's (first tone on all dispatches) and a department house siren. That is the reasoning behind all of the tones you hear.

    I used to be able to hear two fire departments' house sirens from where I live. The sirens I could hear were a Federal Signal STH-10 and a Federal Signal 3T22. Locations: STH-10 located at Woodward Township Fire Department, Lycoming County Station 2, 3T22 Located at Williamsport Bureau of Fire headquarters, Lycoming County Station 1. Those were some loud sirens, and one of the sirens still stands at one of those two stations. Do you know which one it is? If not, it is the 3T22.

  • That technology is older than the hills. It is so much better sending out the information digitally on a two way paging system which repeats over and over until all target addresses respond. But with so much money tied up in pensions, many municipalities just cant afford to take care of their citizens anymore.

  • Love these tap outs, lots of folks hear the tones over the air, but this shows what the other side does.

  • that just takes forever

    

  • "All district 4 units, standby for your Wednesday night pager test. WNGR 551." Circa 1996

  • @Theportapottymancan this is Mount Carmel, PA

    We use tones where I am at and they work fine. Plus the computers in our trucks send all the info for us.Why change it?

  • Havent americans heard about selektivs ?

  • Hey when I was in Lemoyne, my mom heard their 3t22 go off for a call and said it sounded like the curfew siren from mt carmel when she grew up there. What siren do they and did they have up there in mount carmel??

  • i am looking to meet people from mt.carmel i have a property there
