Fyr Fyter siren?

[murrfarms]

So this...

...is a WS-1004?

Yes, that is a Whelen siren. It stands beside the Bobby Grant Center Police Annex in Kennesaw, which was once a city fire station I believe. It's no longer active though and was replaced by a nearby Whelen WPS-2810 (at Adams Park), nor is the other siren identical to it in Smyrna (also replaced).

A CD logo 8) How old is that Whelen?
I wonder if it still works.

Is this a Whelen too? It has a CD logo and its painted in CD yellow.

That's a PA speaker made to seem like a siren. I guess the park put it up as a prop.

No. That is a PA system in which the park that owns it regularly plays music over it.

I am also wondering what one sounds like. Also, I wonder how loud they are. 1963 was the year my dad was born. Very Neat.

My mom was born in 1963 and my guess is it would sound like a smoke alarm or a fire alarm because Fyr Fyter is a fire equipment company. I have many fyr Fyter fire extinguishers and 1 smoke alarm they made.

You have one of their smokes also? Is it like this?

I just got mine, along with an extinguisher. They did make vehicular sirens also.

Yes but it is at my grandma's house because her other smoke alarm died the other week. It is there temporarily.

Fyr Fyter also sold vehicle sirens, I own 3. They were built like tanks, extruded anodized chassis, Amphenol military type circular plug. Very low siren tones.
