Which Sunset Rd. siren were you attempting to record?
I attempted to record the one closest to the Fire Station right off from the intersection at the top of the hill.
I believe they reason they put off the test until 15min later is because the FD was on call. While we were waiting for it to go off a fire truck and ambulance hauled on down the road with their lights and sirens blaring (which I also got on video).
My dad drove back by the siren after the test and it was facing a different direction. That particular siren can be heard in the video, listen for the higher pitched one near the end of the video.
I heard Franklin's sirens going spot-on at 1AM barely from a distance. I could only hear a siren from that direction when it would down to its lowest pitch in the Attack signal. I'll review the video and see if I can hear it.
I did catch an ATI siren in the Vanderbilt video but I don't think it's worth sharing
Maybe I'll have some better luck next month in Franklin. Not sure what I'm gonna record yet though, preferably another 2001, unless we decide to head back over to Lebanon to record something different.

I live close to the Moores Lane 2001 (part of the Brentwood system) and never heard that one, and I even drove past it and it had not moved from its original position. Hmm there must be something going on with system cause even last month some of the sirens didnt go off either.
Sounds like I need to give a call to the FD and see what's going on. I tried calling the other day and I never got anyone to answer.
That reminds me, we also went by the Centennial High 2001 and it was still pointed in the same direction as it was the last few months, which leads me to believe that the rotator is broken...again. I wonder who goes out and tests/services their system yearly..because they must not be doing too god of a job.
