Did you hear any other nearby sirens? Valley Shore communications can be very lazy when doing the daily test as they never did it the day I went to attempt record Chester's 2T22. If it's the same, you should have heard several DTMF bursts, and a lone 2 tone followed by "1200 hours WQF238" I'll send out a few emails. I'm glad "ol reliable" Glastonbury tested. You could have set up in Buckingham Park next door to Company 4 unless it was packed (usually during Soccer season, the FD shuts the siren off during games), but none the less still good video.

That is what I heard over my scanner, and I didn't hear any other sirens. If there were other sirens going off, I may not have heard them due to loud traffic noise. About Glastonbury, I actually got a pretty good shot from the opposite side of the park.

Did a very small update to the map. Found an active Fedelcode 5 in Eastford (Windham County), added some additional info on Milford's 2805 system (New Haven County) thanks to one of my wife's cousin's, found 2 ex CT Yankee sirens in Colchester (Tolland County), and re-discovered what I thought was a removed fire siren in the Crystal Lake section of Ellington (Tolland County, next town over from me, 10 minutes away, and active :D ).
