Fox News Channel reports the TSunami sirens are sounding in Hawaii.

I didn`t know sheffield has a siren, do you know if it is only used for mfire calls or if it is also used for a noon whistle? It is used for fire calls as well as the siren tests. The Housatonic fire siren is actually tied into the firebox in the front of the station. It's electrically interconnect...

I know of the siren in front of the housatonic station, is it still used? that sounds pretty cool how the warner school siren was mounted. By the way, do you know if pittsfield still uses/tests their sirens. Pittsfield doesn't use their siren system anymore. As far as I knew, most were gone. (Thank...

The system would only be activated for life-threatening emergencies when there is no advance warning and it is imperative for people to seek shelter. Weather events, such as a blizzard or hurricane, would...

So apparently they've put in a new siren notification system near where I live. Almost right next door to where I live as it happens to be. I was able to get the initial test on video today. They use 158.8575 D031 to activate the sirens. Providence Journal Article Sorry the pictures aren't clearer. ...

So after doing some research online, it appears as if Springfield may only have four Mobil Directos remaining in the city. 1) on the Warner School on Parker St. (Near Boston Rd) 2) on the old station 15 at Roosevelt & Page Blvd 3) on the roof of the Pottinger School on Carew St. (Near St James A...
