Location: Westerville Fire Department
System: Franklin County
Test time: Every Wednesday at noon

For the second Wednesday of February, we went to this analog 4004 in Westerville. We had originally planned on doing a Miami/Paulding County duo, but we found out the hard way that Piqua doesn't test in the winter, and since we were still unsure about Paulding after their system-wide failures in December, we decided not to risk another failure with them, so we came here instead. Tommy and I both filmed this back in 2015, but we decided we wanted to get better videos of it, and since it was nice and sunny, we decided today was the perfect day to do just that. Anyway, I forgot how loud this one was. It's definitely on the louder side of Whelens I've heard (117.3 dBC), and it vibrated the ground and our chests pretty good when it faced us on the wind-down. This was the Whelen that started the big hunt for the dual-tone 4004 (which can be heard in this video at times) back in 2015-16, and it's nice to see it still going strong after all these years. Enjoy!
