Re: What is the ugliest siren?

Very nice, if only more sirens used this elusive 10/7 port ratio. Certainly a sound the diminished 5th interval.

Re: Welcome back to ARS!

Well this is a change! I feel like I have gone back in time to the early days of when I was on The Siren Board! I not really keen on seeing the Karma System again though.

Re: Sirens at Fire Brigades around me

I dont know if I am able to but I will try & get a video of one of the GCS sirens if they ever get tested again. Out here pagers get used these days instead of sirens. For all I know those sirens have being dormant for donkeys years. As for the one in Empire Bay I might have a chance in future b...

If the mounting bracket does end up giving way, I believe the power cord will save it from a major fall since it is so small to the average outdoor siren. It also looks like at the most it weighs between 7 ...

Re: Sirens at Fire Brigades around me
