I thought at first that this siren may have been an ACA Hurricane, but now I'm leaning more towards a Federal Model 2T. It's hard to tell since the clip of the siren sounding is so short.

Oh yeah, Model 2T. That does not sound like a Hurricane.

It's the same pitch as a Hurricane, but it does have that slightly distorted sound that 2T's have. It's too clean sounding to be a Thunderbolt.

It's a Model 2T. Hurricanes rotate. Nice video, though.

I know that Hurricanes rotate if they're working properly, but the siren clip is very short, and it was hard to tell at first.

That's only the second video I've ever seen with a 2T in the wild, so it really surprised me. I was really hoping it was a Hurricane, but it's still a really cool siren.
