This was video taped back in April 5th, 2008 by me. This siren started to fail two months later and its not been sounding until the new 2001-130 took its place.

During this time, half of Livonia's Whelen WPS-3016s became decommissioned before their replacement came. This was pretty much their last month for those to be sounding.

  • alright i really dont know alot about tornado sirens,im more into firefighting.but what are the whelen sirens called that look like this but only have 3 lines on the back?(if that makes any sence)

  • @EngulfedSix As for rotational type of Whelens, they only have 4 horns that connects together into a big rectangular horn. Those would be called WPS-4000 series or Vortexes. If you have pictures of the siren your wondering about, you can send them to me and I can help you identify it.

  • Don't the newer 3016's have shorter horns in the back.

  • @sirenfan97 No they were all made the same.

  • How come the one at Emerson middle school has a long wind-down and this one cuts-off?

  • @sirenfan97 The factory must have screwed up on the timer setting for this one.
