London Fire Brigade - Soho ride, all three 

I'm not sure but I believe back then the drivers had to do a similar test to the London Taxi Knowledge test whereby they had to memorise all the streets in their ground and any that they know of in neighbouring grounds

SO 💝

Today's LFB sirens are too high pitched.

@@paulsimpson6899 well, that's how Whelen is, The louder... The Better. And it's slightly lower toned American/Canadian one is very popular in the Czech Republic, Poland and all of the Scandinavian countries (Except Sweden, who only has a few Ambulances with that yelp)

(At the time of commenting that is)

It gives me nightmares

Because it was rare

dennis was the best. now they use Mercedes appliances.

Dennis SS or Rs are great But the shelvolk p587c is great to

It was involved in a crash with a pump.

because they love to copy America.

One Dennis appliance (one in the video) and the newer Dodge G13 appliances got the sirens and strobe lights fitted in 1987 for test runs & rest of the Brigade started getting them around 1992 onward when the Volvos were being introduced the rest of the old Dennis’ retained their two tone horns

Don't know, but they were way after my local brigade, Staffordshire. They first had electronic sirens fitted on all their appliances in 1980, and they kept their two-tone air, and later chose bullhorn air horns too.

because they wanted to copy America. would be back to two tones if I had my way.

because they wanted to copy America.

trucker 2005 yes it’s a 1992 Volvo FL6 the next one was a 1986 Dennis and the third is a 1990 Dennis Turnable ladder
