The Siren Board

you need quick time http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html should have the free download some were on there or you need to upgrade.

Well, actually, it appears that Youtube uses Macromedia Flash Player to view the videos. Just do a simple google search, if your browser doesn't already prompt you to download the file needed (it should), then put in Macromedia Flash Player and go from there. You should be able to do this without anyones help. It's a very simple concept.

Many thanks guys I got it!

Nice horn!

Wow, that thing is a work of art. Outstanding videos!

I think those are Buell air horns. Go to the site and see.

No, the truck's horn's are chrome and they are 5 chime, those Buell "Blaster" train horns are black plastic and are 4 chime. (Along with that awful sounding GE Powercall siren) Most likely its a P5 or a K5, though I'm not a train horn expert so I'm not sure.

I do remember another pic of a fire truck with a full 5 chime horn bolted right to the bumper, it was blue and white in color, someone should post it if they find it. Man I miss being on the fire department now!

You talking about this bad boy from Walkersville, MD

Yep, good old Squad 24. Man that thing is a brute. I've never actually heard it run in emergency but have just heard it drive by. It still sounds scary without all the warning equipment running.

I see the chrome. You can get anything in chrome, however apon closer examination, there are six horns. Also, it's not any train horn i have ever seen. It has the wrong sound for a train horn too. Loud though.

Oh no, it's a train horn alright. There are many different sounding horns though, due to the different combination of notes. A search of any train horn sites will prove this true.
