Originally Recorded 1/6/2016
Back in January, during one of the few days it was actually cold, I decided to stay close by and record a siren in Pike County, rather than go far. Pike has a system of mostly new, 16Vs and three 2750s in Petersburg. It's a great system that definitely gets the job done overall, but it seems like their system has been plagued with battery issues lately. This is the second 16V I've encountered with a battery problem. Not to mention Chris and Nick encountered a dying 2750, and earlier this month, the 2750 in the north part of Petersburg did nothing for this February's test. I assume it's a similar issue.
Other than that, there's a few unique things about this particular siren. For starters, this siren is the same one I feature on all my newer intros since around mid 2014. And, unlike the other 16Vs in the system, this one does alert. I have a botched recording from years ago when it did attack, so at one point it was switched. The town of Spurgeon also has a Model 5 that's active, but is not connected to the county's system. I assume the Model 5 does attack for fire calls, and probably not to long after this 16V was installed, some of the firemen were getting confused since both did attack. This probably led to the change in signal.
Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!
