Just wondering if any other city, county, etc., has this program. For over five years I've been a member of our city's police department's Adopt-A-Siren program. Our county's siren system is tested once a month on the first Monday of the month at 9 AM. The test involves the unincorporated county EMA...

Thanks for the reply!

To any St. Louis area siren enthusiasts, I just found out yesterday that the City of St. Charles sold one of their ASC T-128's to the City of Winfield. There's a video on YouTube of the siren being tested in Winfield, saying that the rotator was broken but that it was later repaired after the video ...

Thanks, DJ2226 for the explanation! Much appreciated!

I wrote a post on Friday, March 29th about the Whelen WPS-2806 near my house malfunctioning around 4:30 AM, when it activated off and on for about an hour.

I just drove by the siren about 25 minutes ago and two technicians from O'Fallon P.D.'s EMA Division were there, with a ladder extended up to the controls box. Both techs were standing on the ground talking, I'm guessing, trying to figure out what caused this morning's activation.

The Whelen WPS-2806 located about a half-mile from our house went off this morning at 4:38, waking my wife and I up. I immediately got out of bed and turned on the TV in our bedroom to a local news channel, expecting to see the multiple county map in the lower left hand corner of the TV screen with ...

There are very few fire stations that I know of in St. Louis County that still have Model 2's left over from the days when those fire departments or districts were all-volunteer. The fire station that's referred to located on Wild Horse Creek Road with the Model 2 is Monarch Fire Protection District...
