Fire sirens in Poland

Thu Nov 22, 2007 3:37 am

Apparently the Polish fire service (OSP) uses sirens on some of their rural stations. I found some of these videos and posted them to the Youtube siren group. Here's one of them:

One video, which is actually a strange mini-film apparently made by a local OSP, shows a girl pushing (or simulating pushing) an ancient outdoor siren button and a brief closeup of the siren in motion.

Yes! Their sirens do remind me of a Sentry siren. :)

That siren sounds like an E57, so since it's running at fifty-Hertz current, it might be a nine-port siren.

Judging by the pitch, some of them have 9 ports (A note) and some have 10 (Bb note). I wonder whether these siren are made in Poland or are imported from somewhere like Russia?
