this is why i love Volunteer Fire Departments

Where I live at now is a combination system. You have to have your unit staffed with a crew to be dispatched to a call via an 800 mhz system. Where I grew up at in rural northeast iowa the fire department ran about 75-100 calls a year. If the pager/minitor system were to fail there that house siren would still sound and alert the members to respond to the station for a call.

If your Fire Department still has the Siren. Like this.

In Germany we CAN use Pager but they are very expensive (400€). So we alert by sms

@cauberallies Here in Germany is that an E57

That is an AWESOME house siren. Do you know what kind it is?

Best part is when you live next to the station and that alarm sounds and your ass gets up running across the street in nothing but your boxers and your hopping in your gear and starting the rig up while the alarm is still sounding! Volunteers all the way!!

my department uses pagers but we are switching over to text messages that has the type of call, address, and what apparatus is dispatched.
