Its located near the intersection of Grand Blvd and Gravois. (South City area)

here the siren blows for a few seconds to get your attention, then the message sounds to let you know what is going on, then the siren blows for 3-4 min and then the message sounds again to let people know what is going on in the event they didnt hear it the first time.

That is St. Louis Medics Blowing their air horn.

They usually do that to clear Grand Ave. when backing in to the station.

I work down town and this started happening and people that never had heard it before were literally shitting their pants. The guys voice was too muffled and they couldnt understand the recording, so I only made it worse by telling people that didnt know what it was to run home and get to their closest bomb shelter. I know, Im an asshole, but it was funny. ;]
