Decot Engineering Works 10/15 tornado siren test - Staples, MN | Alert + Attack

Here's a proper video recording of the D.E.W. siren in Staples, MN. I've known about this for a few years and it was another siren on my to-record list, and I happened to (sort of) be in the area near the first Wednesday so I decided to scratch it off the list. I was NOT expecting it to wind back up in attack mode after the first alert cycle. As far as I know this is the first video recording of a 10/15 port D.E.W. siren and also of one doing attack signal. Given the track record these things have for being not the greatest, this one didn't seem to have any issues. As for loudness, it wasn't too loud but given it's small size it was pretty decent. I'd rate it a 6/10-wait, make that a 10/15. 😜

Staples has one other siren besides this, a 2001-SRN on the other side of town. You can hear it before the Decot winds back up in attack.
