https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDouqwdjxHc Weekly Test of Dauphin County, PA's fire sirens. This STL-10 is located along PA-230 on Lumber Street at Highspire Fire Department. Fire Sirens for Dauphin County are tested every Saturday at Noon. Note: I was approximately 325 feet away from this siren. And also, sorry for the low video quality, my camera was set on the lowest setting accidentally.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDouqwdjxHc P.S is the video embedded in the post? I'm not able to tell from my view. And also, (I know, a lot of side notes) sorry for the low video quality, my camera was set on the lowest setting accidentally.
Fixed it in the quote here, you only need the last part of the code rather than the whole URL.

Instead of that, you do

Code: Select all

That's how it works, which is odd.

I know! I was a little concerned about it. The clouds were getting dark as we were going there and during the test, but it didn't start raining until about 12:30, when it was off and on until 3:00 when the real storm came.

Also, are you almost done with the FSMC results?

Glad to see an STL-10 still working! It sounds so healthy!!! Here's an STH-10 that I saw in Lake Lure, North Carolina in May 2016!

Surprisingly there are still a lot of them left that I'm aware of, although STH-10's are a lot more common. I just counted on the sirens in Pennsylvania map and there's about 35 of them on there, just in PA.

Wow! I'm near Raleigh. I'll have to check it out sometime. :) I know there's an STH-10 on the roof of the fire station in Downtown Siler City!!
