  • lol sounds like our tornado siren.........whats goin on???

  • fire call

  • How many calls a year does this dept. make and how long does the siren sound for?

  • we git about 100 calls per year, and the siren sounds for as lond as it takes to git a crew together

  • 100 calls a year? Are you sure about that? Since Janurary 2009 i had 324 calls. We are a volunteer department. In 2088 we had 781 runs.

  • i'm 100% sure, cuz in 2008 we had a total of 94 calls for the year

  • @80fireman wow, how big is your town? I volunteer for a very small dept. and we even have almost 200 a year

  • A big "salute" to the volunteers...they put their lives on the line to help the citizens, and it's all for free. I've got to brag on the Cleveland, MS VFD...all volunteer...and they have a class 5 insurance rating. I now live in a city that has a paid dept, and they're only class 4.

  • fuck me! is that a old fashioned air raid siren?

  • I hear that i would go to my basement it our tornato seirn wher i live

    

  • @80fireman wow you guys get nothing!

  • We stoped using the siren after the majority of the people in town complained. These are the taxpayers who pass bonds and operating levies to keep the lights on and buy new apparatus. Our pagers do an excellent job and no complains about it. If we were a more rual dept the siren would stay.

  • I have to say, it's not too common that I've heard a "firewhistle" run steady like that. When ours ran, they would warble three times. Wind up. Wind down. Wind up. Wind down. Wind up. Hold. Hold. Hold. Wind down and off.

  • @xthemwordx For years, our Sparks Withingtons doubled as Civil Defense and Volunteer F.D. sirens. I agree with you because there is an added advantage to what we always called "firewhistles" when I was a kid. Not only did they alert the volunteer F.D, but they also were a good way of getting OUR attention to clear the streets and be on the lookout for emergency vehicles.

  • @80fireman god that must be a boring company to Vouli for... lol we have had...200 calls and its only may...
