Just went off.
I can hear it 2 miles away.
Always makes me stop what I'm doing and pray for a good outcome.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

we have that here also

it is very controversial with new people to town , they want to know why they have to be inconvenienced by such a noise..

well it is your look around and take notice of any flashing lights as it is a volunteer FD stay clear of the intersection of the fire dept and main street

and those that are from here do as you do .

when the outsiders complain we know to tell them they can go back where they came from any time.

7, noon, 1:00, and 6:00 here. They like to keep the night shift nurses awake that try to sleep in the daytime.

Noon, 6 p.m. and all fire and rescue calls. Never new anyone that it bothered no matter what shift they worked. People around here like it. Keeps you informed of time out on the farm, lunch and dinner bell.
I live rural maybe it's different in the towns and cities

Definitely. Lotta folks carry a watch or cellphone on them so they know what time it is.
I don't know how ppl in large towns and cities can go thru life without sirens to tell them what time it is.

Town fire call was the bell eons ago. The bell is prominently displayed out in front of the fire station. Police and fire have gone the way of technology with pagers and radios. The emergency sirens are operated in cooperation with the county defense agency tested on Wednesday's at noon.

Small towns around here still do fire sirens one or some twice a day. Main county wide test is at 6:00 pm. Personally find the rice grinder drift cars and crotch rocket motorcycles more annoying. Think they have to drag race away from ever stop sign or traffic light. Can hear them for miles at 10:00 at night. Worse than dang chainsaw or weed eater.
