It's a single-phase 10V. You're right about the part where it has 2 motors.

...that... can't POSSIBLY be live, can it?

I mean, at this point, I think it qualifies as a contender for Most Sociopathically Low Mounting of a Siren in the United States... granted, it doesn't have direct line of sight to any of the homes in the area, but still, that's gotta be blowing straight in the windows...

What the heck! :shock: That thing is LOW!, possibly the "Lowest Mounted Siren in the US" if it is live, but even if it isn't it is still low! Great find! :)

^I'm pretty sure this is the "lowest siren in the US" (from page 5 of this thread):

You really can't put a siren any lower than that.

No you can't. Is that thing active? If it is, it is definitely the "Lowest Mounted Siren in the US", if not it is still insanely low!

He says "Active noon whistle and fire siren", so yes, it is (or was) active. Perhaps it was a temporary setup until the fire dept. could get it onto the roof or something.

*bump*

Fresh addition to the Virginia map - the lowest NPP siren I can recall seeing. This is on my "must film someday" list.

This siren is in James City County, and not far up the road from Jamestown.
