It might be best for you to contact the Fire Station down there to see if they would be willing to manually activate it, that is - if it is still powered and in operation. Thanks for the link, nice recording. I would ask them to activate it but I'm all the way on the other side of the states in Wis...

Firefighters put together a special album for a young man fighting liver cancer to help his spirits.

I was never in Burnsville, just chatting with my sister about the sirens .

Platteville did their monthly testing today; if the city had a variety of sirens I definitely would have recorded it.

My hometown of Lancaster, WI also has STH-10s, which makes a beautiful sound with the mighty Thunderbolt, practically planted in the center of town. A year...

Yeah, hey

I wasn't on this siren board for probably a good year, but now I'm checking every day on the Audio/Video form for new videos, especially of Thunderbolt 1000Ts.
