Re: Lowest mounted Siren in US

Believe it or not it is actually a Sterling 2V8 with a Model 2 shroud jammed over the rotor, I gave it a hard look when I visited and was quite amused (as I always am when I see this type of fire department ingenuity) https://preview.ibb.co/ktTjgJ/DSC_0072.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/igW4gJ/DSC_0079....

Re: New guy first post

This is exciting to me because this is another person on here close to me and one with a gas powered Mobil-Directo at that, if this is the siren I am thinking of it was on top of the Yorktowne Hotel in downtown York.

Re: Darley re branding ACA sirens?

Interesting reading on the 25hp siren too if no one caught it, it is a 25hp siren that uses a housing similar to the 10HP Screamer but has 2 rotors mounted on the vertical motor... sounds an awful lot like a Super Banshee type siren to me

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.

It is sort of not special but it is an odd configuration, I have been meaning to share this with the board for a number of years but I kept forgetting. I was going to message the department to see what the idea was behind mounting 2 Whelen 4004 heads in this fashion (they are non-rotational as you c...

Re: Fake video list

Alright, enough of the Scott/Collin Gibson bashing... the next person who beats this horse that is already dead will be given a warning and possibly serve a suspension. He has been discussed and it was made clear that it was a person with Autism with no concept of theft that is doing it and not Mr. ...

Re: I've found a whelen 2000r

I also have never seen this and I have been here longer than anyone posting in this topic... here IS a Whelen 2000R that most people don't know about. It is at the Hartsville, Pa fire department and was part of the escape alert system for a mental health facility somewhere in the area (I am not sure...

Re: Post your Mystery Sirens here.

Your guess is as good as mine, I suspect the 2V8 is toasted but I can't say for sure... it is one of the odder mountings I have ever seen LOL
