Where to buy sirens in western Canada?

HI!!!! I live in British Columbia, Canada and want sirens. BADLY. So I was wondering, where could I get sirens? And if I could get sirens, are there any siren meetups around here where I could set them off? That's all, thanks!

Not much out here in Canada, eh?

I guess your best chance would be to look around for a local fire department that has a decommissioned unit laying around the property. Parts of BC are known for their Carter-style sirens, so if you get lucky.. you're really getting lucky. Keep in mind as well that most larger old sirens use three-phase power. Unless you have the means, you may arrive home disappointed, unless you just want a cool artifact for your garage.

Thank you! I wasn't planning on setting them off. Definitely would get the police called! There are a few fire departments in my area so I will check them out. Thanks again!
