Wow, that's kinda low. Did you tell the ENA this siren is a little sick? Or is it just like this in the winter months?

You've obviously never met Sedgwick County EMA. This is their attitude towards their sirens:

[RyanJamesDean98]

Its basically "Is it making sound" ... "Yes" ... "Good Enough". Or they can replace it with an ATI.

[Mark N]

Well that must stink. It might just be the cold weather, a lot of sirens up here don't do good in cold weather.

Yeah all it needs is the collector rings cleaned up. Takes a couple of hours in the bucket truck, that's it.
