One thing that is annoying about the test is having to hear this 4 times on every loudspeaker/siren in the county when they test the sirens.

This is a test of the Monroe County Early Warning Siren System, This is only a test.

And then this 4 more times

This concludes this test of the Monroe County Early Warning Siren System, This was only a test.

UPDATE

I just found out that the Federal Signal 500 At the near-by Lambertville VFD is a first generation Federal Signal 500A/AT from the 1950s.

It was originally painted red but is now painted yellow.

It STILL works great which amazes me at how long that its been in operation.

I think its a Federal Signals 500/Federal 500
Fixed. *strikethrough the S*

Huh. :huh:
It's "Federal Signal", not "Federal Signals".

Oh. Didn't know that

Oh and the Thunderbolt that is at the Temperance VFD was purchased in 1974 after the Super Tornado outbreak and is still used to this very day.

Monroe County used to have a vast number of Federal Signal 500A/AT Sirens throughout the County. Mostly in the country/rural areas.

There was also a lot of SD-10 and Federal Signal 7AT sirens in use a long time ago.

We have no Tornado sirens. I know that for sure. We might have a fire siren but I think we do have
an outdoor warning siren. IF we do, it would probabally be by the fire station about 10 minutes away from me. ut I don't hear tests.

UPDATE: The Siren near Handels Ice Cream in Toledo, Ohio is not a 3T22

It is actually a Federal Signal STH-10

And also there was never a Thunderbolt 1003T, the Thunderbolt series were; 1000, 1000T, 1003, 2000, 7000
Edit: Whops, that's an STL-10 video not an STH-10.

The 2000 and 7000 were actually labeled as "System 2000", etc.

"1003T" is redundant, because you can't have the 3 without the T. Ha that rhymed.
