Here's my recording of the downtown Lapeer, Michigan Thunderbolt 1003 1pm 1st Saturday of the month test ALERT signal Siren is located on top of the Lapeer County Court Building. They only test March thru October
Sounds like it could be on chopper level 3 running on 208V. We've got one in our system that sounds a lot like it. It's on level 3, but it rotates at 4 RPM's instead of 2.
that's really gotta piss off people that work the graveyard shifts!

@Archon2561 Yeah all the sirens in Lapeer are 2001's except for this one.
I live there.

I love the fact you can almost always hear the blower.

@bulldozer950 Not so much, it's most likely a '70s model. It has the newer-style FS logo beside the "THUNDERBOLT" lettering on the rotator box decal.

It's still hard for me to believe that Michigan still has Thunderbolts!

Great video, Eric! That sounds similar to the 1003 in Melvindale, so I assume that it's Chopper Level 2?
