I always wondered why they had a horn in addition to the siren. It was loud. I remember hearing it from where I lived in Saint James back in the 80s when I was little. Our house was on Patton Rd and I remember hearing the horn in the distance when out in the yard playing.
@@linysirenfirebuff4786 Back in the day, 80s and 90s, when I was kid they both went off together. I know they did for the 12:00 noon alarm, but I also recall hearing the horn in the afternoon and early evenings from the house I lived in St. James. At that distance, about two to three miles or so, I could only hear the horn and not the siren.
