The only thing I find wrong with the history is they left out 1 thing. They became Federal Enterprises in 1950 and in 1958 became sign & signal. The Type 7 siren I have cleary says Federal Enterprises on it and was purchesed from Federal around 1952

Fire departments on L.I. have anywhere from 3 to 10 sirens per district depending on population and also many have horns thrown into the mix as well. They all sound at the same time. Here is a good example of Northport FD on a fire call.. Model2, Model 5, 2T22, Screamer and diaphone. http://brettsw...
