The oldest siren recordings from enthusiasts

Sat Mar 08, 2025 10:08 pm

Hi. I’m making this to maybe find the first siren recorded by an enthusiast. The oldest one I know is the garland hurricane from 2004. Can anyone help find the oldest? I saw this site goes back to 1995.

There was that very old recording of an Aca Hurricane MKII you can find on YouTube. I believe it of of the "Over rated" Aca hurricane at fire station 39 in Milwaukee WI.

There are several news recordings in Dallas, TX showing their Thunderbolts sounding off. Some are dated to the 1970s.
