Originally Recorded 7/4/2014

This is a monthly test of the City of Seymour's Weather Siren System. The sirens are tested the first Friday of every month at 12 Noon. Seymour consists entirely of Whelen products (mostly 4004s and this 3016). Also, Seymour's sirens have voice capability but they never use it as evident in this video and other videos I've watched. The rest of the county is mostly Federal Signal territory. Brownstown, for example, has a Model 5T and a 2001-SRN (though there was this one town that I think had a Hornet).

This siren is located on East and South Streets at the Seymour Fire Department. In the video, you can here some radio chatter from the fire station. I didn't hear any activation tones as they were probably on a different frequency. However, it sounded like the dispatcher mentioned "siren" at some point. Also, the controls were updated very recently (as recent as a few months ago according to some article I found). So...sadly this 3016 doesn't have that classic Whelen ESC-864 sound anymore. Nevertheless, it may have been for good reason since the same article said certain sirens were consecutively failing tests. This siren may have been one of them.

Fun fact of the day (kinda): I have personally seen more Whelen Hornets in Indiana than I have seen 3016s. So yes, this siren is rare my area. Heck, I just found another Hornet a couple weeks ago.

Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!
