Thunderbolt 1000T Alert- FIRE! 

UPDATE: McCranie Warning Systems fixed this siren just a few hours ago. The old blower motor fried, so they swapped it out for a new one.

tbh when I saw the title of this video I was thinking at first that this was going off because of a fire lol. I didn't think that the siren would ACTUALLY catch on fire! Well done for catching this.

Who knew that the Thunderbolt 1000T's could also do a firecall* *siren damage may occur.

He started blowing to tell everyone he wasn’t feeling well, and then started screaming higher pitched because the pain was getting worse😂

This takes Fire siren to a new level

2:00 Day 91 with a 90 day warranty from the shop...

Thunderbolt 1000T going up from Chopper Level 5.5 to Chopper Level 6.5

Exactly how the silverstreet's 1003 died but the chopper motor

Least the chopper survived. Must of smelt wonderful after the blower blew up.

This is why the blowers should have been direct drive and not belt drive

holy cow! that definitely is not good. It's probably the blower that was the issue, not the chopper. The chopper seemed fine throughout the test. good video, glad you were able to catch this.

I like the ambience after it broke and started being less loud.

Wow that’s insane!

That's gotta be a hell of a whole new stink right there

So, what happened here was the blower motor cooked off and the smoke got sucked into the blower and blown up to the head?

We still have thunderbolts in Michigan nothing beats them they put those new sirens most of everywhere we still have a few left when you hear that Sound you know to take cover unless to test there iconic better than any air raid siren in the world besides the Crisler Siren

I was just there at that siren I did not see smoke because I was at another siren when this siren was blowing out smoke. I have three sirens to monitor. And report those back to Cleveland County Emergency Management via an Amateur Radio Club.

Siren catches fire around the 2:00 mark

Poor thunderbolt :( (siren goes off @ 00:51 BTW) (siren's blower kills itself @ 01:59 BTW) (siren turns off @ 0:350 BTW)

1:59, 😬 This what major bearing failure is on the blower after likely burning a belt out, blower motor was swapped later on.

That is a crazy! I bet it was only of those single phase motors that i guess just had enough. Good thing jeb fixed it up.

Honestly if it were louder it sounds like a eows siren ish

2:07 the chopper level just raised🤣

That’s a very short siren. Didn’t know it was programmed to do that when it actually caught fire.

This happened to a thunderbolt in my town. it's been replaced with a T-128 though. I saw it catch fire and could smell the blower... I was out for my resese time. the statewide drill was why.

Are there any other Thunderbolts or classic sirens in Oklahoma you know of? I want to go see some. I love Southside okc

That was just smoke no flames in sight, while I agree it’s not good it didn’t really “catch fire” just blew out some smoke

This'll be the Hurricane in Milwaukee soon if they don't fix the blower.

essh... im gonna guess that was most likely blower motor failure.. that sucks

Man, that BLOWS.

I feel like this is most likely going to happen to the Milwaukee Hurricane

looks like the siren had a ciggerete

Did you call the fire department when it started smoking?

ya real smart, get closer to something that is showing its catching on fire🤦‍♂️

You can really here that blower running hard lol, that's one interesting incident.

2:06 Chopper Level just raised🤣

2:00 Blower said "Ight ima head out"

1:52 thunderbolt is OK 2:03 chopper motor, burnt 2:05 motor exploded, and started to deep fry

If you think about it the thunderbolt is actually turbo charged

I recorded this one on Saturday and it’s working just fine now.

May I use part of this clip in a video compilation? Your video will be linked in the description box of my video, and I will provide a copyright watermark in your channel name.

the siren from hell

Anyone have a update on how this one is doing

Oh my gosh! That is insane!

2:00 Is When It Caught Fire

2:05 How did the thunderbolt not explode from that

now that is a real fire siren.

A thunderbolt siren should sound high low when there's a fire!

Nice Thunderbolt

Oh yeah.. that's a healthy one! NICE

Me expecting it to be a fire siren: 😮

That's one sick thunderbolt *lol*

The blower belt exploded

"trial by fire!"

chopper go brrRRRRRRRRR *pitch increases*

Who wants a cooked blower moter for dinner?

1:59, the blower starts to sound extremely horrible and then finally quits at 2:04

The thunderbolt was like o no pls help

2:06 blower starts to die

R.I.P. Blower.

Mr stark I don't feel so good

It has to of been the belt because all the motors were still working and the tone of the siren changed.

Aw, poor thing :(

It’s very loud

Sure great, don’t wait for me!

I thought it was going off on fire signal(hi lo)

Did it caught on fire?

The belt probably blow up the blower

FireBolt™

YIKES! something happened in the blower!

2:05 Usually Old Thunderbolt Do that

We get it, you smoke.

The motor fried?

Silver street be like:

I hope they fix it.

Is there a chance that it will get replaced? Hope not

It was a good sounding siren until it bursted into flames

How Did It Catch Fire

thank goodness this did not happen to my whelen siren

he was smoking because he wasn't felling well, then he started screaming to let people know he was sick

R.I.P blower,wires

That's not smoke, it's just the single-use secondary visual alert.

What’s the location of this bolt

It's not loud when it gets close

Most likely a fire in the blower

It Had To Much RED HOT CHILLY PEPPERS

i seen one of these i mostly have whelen's tho

rip thunderbolt belt

Oof that’s crazy

Oh wiw

Smokebolt

Not good

P.

Emílio
