07-14-09 Seneca High School Thunderbolt siren test

This audio was recorded on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at a friend's house near the Thunderbolt siren at Seneca High School in Louisville, Kentucky. The Thunderbolt at Klondike Elementary School can also be heard, along with a distant lower pitched Thunderbolt, at least one xT22, and at least 1 2001.

Hey Josh: The XT22 that you are referring to could be the 1 at the Buechel Fire Department, at 1 time or other Xt22's, thunderbolts, & a few Model 2's, Model 5's, & last are the 2001's were used as Fire Department fire sirens to be used to let firefighters know that their department was called.

@razrramonel4077 I didn't know we ever had any Model 2's around here, but that wouldn't surprise me. A fiew of the fire departments had their own sirens that were independent of the CD siren system. Do you have any idea what the fire siren was at the PRP VFD #1? It sounded like a 2001, but I remember hearing it in the early to mid 1980's which I think is too early for a 2001. I know about the Tbolt there, but they used the other siren for fire calls.
