My cameras can only run for 30 minutes max then shut down so I had to use still images for the video I plan to go back to get videos and audio.
the sirens in Day county are tested once a month on the first Monday at 7:00 PM in American Signal's Fire Signal Mode county wide and if a tornado warning is issued they sound alert. Attack is NOT tested and is reserved for NATIONAL DISASTERS such as war.

Bristol replaced at least one Federal Signal 3T22 with two American Signal Tempest 121's one was a direct replacement at the fire station and the other was placed at the south end of the city by the cemetary.

When passing through Yellow Medicine County MN I saw a Model 2 and I got in contact with the fire chief and he was glad to test the siren for me in Wail and Fast Wail as they do not use these signals only alert, the fire departments use pagers and radios for fire/ems calls and use the sirens only for storms and the month tests in Alert.
So BIG SUPER HUGE Thank You goes to the St Leo Fire Department Fire Chief for testing the siren for me.
