ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

[Vey198885]

Compared to this photo of Ian's there's some resemblance but I doubt it's a master blaster. If I recall correctly there are some in neighboring states around Georgia. There was a video someone posted a few weeks ago of one's in Alabama I think? Don't quote me on that though.

VERY very late on this, but yes, you are correct. Don't know about a video you speak of, but I do know that the only Master Blaster is the one in the middle of Mt. Laurel in Birmingham, which I believe is the only one in Alabama. My father gets a lot of plumbing business here for new houses, so I've seen this siren many times... I just don't have a picture lol.

I've been watching the news, about how "New Zealand" got hit by a earth quake, and saw a video, that had the sirens playing in the back ground, just wondering what kind of sirens they where, thats all

Tactool builds these Carters/Castle Castings-type sirens. Even though those are just British sirens with projectors.

EDIT: not what I heard on my tablet... Those are Meerkat sirens.

It looks like a Model A (or one of those other little Federal sirens) mounted upside down. I think there's a name for that, Model AV, or something like that.

Looks like a LV.. But never seen a LV with the old style shroud.

I can help with that. It looks like an LV, butt the intake looks longer on the ad.

What is a traffic siren?

[Chicagosiren-hunters]

A traffic siren is a small siren (the main reason the Model AV/LV were created) to clear streets outside a fire station or a busy intersection for oncoming fire apperatus.

Sometimes also used for draw-bridges.

Sorry about the bad quality picture. I came across this siren on street view, and I cant figure out what it is. Does anyone here know?
