2001's, Thunderbolt, and Whelen in alert

[Mr.Thunderbolt]

Here is the monthly siren test for Country Club Hills. The sirens heard are a couple of 2001's, a Thunderbolt, and a Whelen 4004 sounding in alert mode.

Great video...love the sound of the Thunderbolt.

I wish Orland Park tested for 3 minutes. Last month they only tested for 45 seconds. Darn yuppies probably complaining about the noise

[Mr.Thunderbolt]

Thanks! Maybe it's not yuppies, but maybe it's how your county test there sirens. This video was taken at 10:00, but about twenty mins. later, the 2001 that I can see from my house went off. I think each county does things differently, but I'm not sure.

Well it may be a city thing. Seems that all the villages test theirs differently, but they're all in Cook county. Orland tests theirs for 30 seconds to 1 minute, while every other village I've heard in Cook county tests theirs for 1-3 minutes. Some do alert and attack, some alternate between testing months. I think I can remember once Orland testing in Attack a couple years back, but other than that, 30 seconds alert and that's it

[Mr.Thunderbolt]

I meant to say cities. Whoops!
