Friendship Fire Department (Chambersburg, Pa) Barn Fire

[Rheems1]

Here is a nice little video I found on Youtube of the Friendship Fire Department of Chambersburg, Pa being dispatched for a barn fire. This has got to be one of the nicest and cleanest sounding 3T22's I have heard... the hi and the low are both very crisp and sound great. Wish it cycled longer, but they are in a somewhat urban area. For those fire truck wacks like me, the piece in this video is a 1987 Pierce Pumper-Tanker formally of the Caernarvon Township Fire Department right here in Lancaster County. If you listen right in the beginning you will hear an 8 port siren sounding, it is the 8 port Sterling from the Franklin Fire Company also in Chambersburg... it is stainless steel with green (their colors) rotor covers ENJOY!!!

Oh God I HATE Powercalls.....if my FD's engines had them I would never have even turned the siren on.

I have heard some unpatriotic things in my life.... but this just takes the cake... SHAKE yourself Jason!! I will have you know that we are specing out a new engine and were very, very dissapointed to find out that we couldn't use the orignal GE Powercall we currently have in our engine in the new one (per NFPA Guidlines).

Much to the luck of your township! Sorry Dave, but those tones annoy the crap outta me. They are so irritating. I love sirens but this one nearly tops the list of most annoying noises. It must be a Yankee thing.....

Well, more than 75% of NFPA's codes have the force of law in the United States.

That stuff fall's under DOT's requirements. NFPA codes usually are "suggestions", not law.
