Same reason they don.t do the coded air horn blasts anymore. Theres no need for it. Remember, these were the days before portable radios and addresses, and when the fire department was called, there was literally a fire! The siren/horn would send out a coded blast. The volunteers would interpret the blast as to what part of town the fire was at. They would drive to the station, respond in the fire trucks to that part of town, and literally drive to where the smoke was. Now we have radios and physical addresses so there is no need.StonedChipmunk wrote:Wonder why they don't exist today.
