Low mounted Sirens in US

[Tigers]

I remember seeing that off of the highway. Stopped and snapped it.

How about this Screamer in Vanlue, OH? It may still be used for Fire Paging. The SRN belongs to Hancock County

My grandparents live there. I was going to see if I could record it but Crawford Co. Never tests. Probably see if it's a nooner.

The East Fallowfield Fire Department in Crawford County, Pa is a huge Ebay shopper, they happened to find a pair of Whelen 3016 sirens for sale and decided to purchase them. They never had a siren at the Hartstown station so they decided to build a mount for it, here is the end result (with another Ebay purchase shown, a Duplex/Emergency One Tanker they bought from somewhere in Alaska)... pretty sure this is not where I want to be during a fire call. Actually having had an altercation with the former chief of this department, I don't want to be there even if there is no call but that is for another topic LOL

I swear, you drag up some of the most unusual siren things on this board...

I feel the same way, but isn't it fun when I drag these things up? LOL

Ooooh yeah.[/quote]

That to me is an ugly pole.

This is the lowest mounted Whelen I've seen so far.

Still wondering why they have three sirens.

Borrowing from my Alaskan thread, this Mobil Directo in Seward is pretty low:

I don't know if this would be considered low mounted, but here is a Model L? & Sterling 2V8 located in Stockton, UT:

When I was on vacation, I went to Pottsville, Pennsylvania for a tour of the Yuengling brewery, and on my way there I saw a roof-mounted Allertor/Mobil-Directo on a fire station.

I found it on street view:

Even though it isn't low-mounted, what you have there is a rare B&N Mobil Directo!

Here is a video of said Mobil-Directo/Allertor "Hybrid" from a good while ago, which used to be up on the department's webpage for a while. It was rebuilt after the original steel housing had pretty well rotted away, at which time the department managed to find a later-model fiberglass Allertor housing from somewhere and replaced the old steel housing with it. Yes, it's a 10/12 dual tone model and yes, it also rotates incredibly fast after the rebuild (belt pulleys probably got swapped around by accident).

Side note: if the video link doesn't work let me know so I can put it elsewhere and link to it.

No, the link doesn't work.

No, the link doesn't work.

Ditto. I want to see this MD/Allertor hybrid in action.
