Federal Signal 2001-DC and Model 5/7 *Failed Test* (Wakeman, Ohio)

The watertower was repainted recently, with a coat of tope, and the Model 5 got painted red, which gave me a idea that they were still going to use it, but these 2 sirens failed on the monthly test of the Wakeman siren system, which doesnt test on the same day as Huron County does. But, i did get some pictures of others sirens, including a Sterling M-5/M-10. I will call the fire department and adress the issue of the failure.

That stinks Why won't they go off

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

I have no idea. They said it would go of that day. Probably the cold weather. Different cities/counties have different restrictions on the weather and temperature for the sirens to be set off.

Told you to go see that M-5 lol.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

You did? Haha, okay. :)

I got some pictures.

Pretty uncommon to find 2001s on water towers!

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

Yep. Pretty rare. I did see a 2001-DC today on a antenna tower. Model 5/7's seem to be the most common sirens on watertowers.

i tried record 2001dc 3 time they wont go off !!!

They didn't mount the 2001-SRN in and underneath the water tower like they had the Thunderbolt. Instead, they put it on a pole near the water tower.

There used to be a Thunderbolt mounted on a water tower not too far from where I live. The city replaced it several years back with a 2001-SRN.

Say Evan: did you call the EMA office to let them know about this problem.

@EvanToTheFutureDude Because they have just re-painted the water towr and Model 5 they might have dis-connected them so they didnt go off while they were being painted. they might have forgotten to re-connect them

sorry but FS's 2001s are like hookers - they need to be on a pole. I hate how she is mounted here:(

[carexpertandy]

It seems to also be common to find STH/STL-10s on water towers as well.
