  • that is a model 5

  • whistle? thats no whistle thats a full blown functional siren.

  • So cool! My town has one on top of the water tower that use to go off at noon and was loud just like this one. Now it only goes off whenever there's an emergency or something

  • The hill siren is still there, but its a shame seeing it ready to fall off for such an old siren. I mean, its not like we get many tornadoes,with most storms dodging us and whatnot...but still at least someone could take it if the borough decides to scrap it?

    And sorry if anyone who reads this hates stories or doesnt care!

  • that guy needs to come to Milton PA to restore a federal siren JUST like that! There used to be 4;a south area siren,downtown siren (by the river) ,an uptown (literally,it's on a hill ) siren,and the fire station siren.However, the southern siren was washed away in the great flood of agnes in 1972, the fire siren was replaced by a modern one, and the downtown siren was scrapped when they made a new parking lot where one of the old schools used to be. *continued*

  • It would be so much better if it went on and off/high or low like some sirens do, because this is one of the loudest sirens I've ever heard!

  • @MaggotMan1234 - Duh. . .

  • sweet! wish my town still did that, remember back in about 90' when they sounded the sirens for the last time

  • @beaman220 then dont live in my county :p

    they set off every whistle in the county( and a few surrounding countys) at 12 so you can even hear neighboring town's whistles
