- Our final test of our Fire Siren with its new timer in place it’ll blow for 1 minute 30 seconds!
Love the start of it dropping to activate and getting close to it, you can hear the flappers hitting. - Hudba
Love the sound of the damper closing!!!!
cooldomino yes same here, first time we tested it I was to far away to get that sound. This past time when we set the timer, it was picked up perfectly.
cooldomino I also personally love the start of it. First time it didn’t pick up the activation of it with whatever it is that drops like a clunk, that is loud.
@@FirefighterKWann one damper is broken
That thing is broken damper
There’s a 3t22. On Chester fire department you can hear the tone in your car
It sounds amazing! I live in a fire siren system of 11 sirens (10 are used for calls and one is only for tornadoes) that blow every Saturday for 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
Nicely done capturing this one, doing hi lo and the sound is clean! No distortion at all. :)
Thank you. That is our pride and joy, That was fully restored and put back up back in March 2020!
We have some adjusting to do to it but otherwise it’s sounding perfectly.
@@FirefighterKWann One of the fire departments where I grew up used to have a 3t22 siren that did a hi-lo attack signal, it was brilliant. The closest I could get to that on CZcams now is Nick Oakman's siren synths. About 10 years ago they replaced that siren with a Sentry 7v8. I do miss the 3t22, its sound carried through the area as much as the FS STH-10 from the other fire house in the area. We even had a fire house nearby that used a Diaphone fire horn that would do the 2-2-2 signal.
I love the way it sounds like a alert
It sound like amazing big like big amazing love high-low
This sirens dampers are most likely working fine. If you listen to the video recorded in February, you can hear that both dampers work and are not leaking however the camera does not pick up the low tone a few times. The siren only sounds weird because he filmed underneath it. As you know, when you film underneath an XT22 the low tone overpowers the high tone because it is the closer tone to you. In this video he starts out filming close but not necessarily underneath the siren. When he is in this position, both the high and low tone sound of equal volume. Then, as he moves to underneath the siren the low tone becomes louder than the high tone an overpowers it. Although very faint you can still hear the high tone. If the top damper were stuck you would not hear the high tone at all, not even faintly. Depending on where you film and XT22 and what camera you use can dramatically change how it sounds, especially if it sounds Hi-Lo. This video was not recorded with necessarily the right video camera or in the best position and the audio reflects that.
Joethaboss66 truth I had my IPhone only at the time, when we called county to trip the tone to activate the siren I ran outside and grabbed it from the angle I did.
I also noticed as you said the videos are different to where I video them apart.
Even in the February video I don’t hear the release on the siren when I powers up. In the March video it’s clearly heard.
Depends I guess where I was standing for everything and honestly never gave that a thought.
@@FirefighterKWann I'm not sure what you mean by release on the siren but if your referring to the giant clank then that is one of the dampers shutting as the flasher starts. I also like how you can actually see the lower damper opening and closing while the siren is running. Do you have an AF timer you can run this siren off of?
Joethaboss66 yes sir. It’s set for 1 minute 30 seconds, used to be 3 min 30 seconds. It was one of the things we updated and fixed when we took it down and fixed up 🙂
Joethaboss66 also the clank yes that’s dropping. Always love that sound. You can hear that thing on a calm night here blocks away. Was on my patio the other evening and no pager with me, heard the clank and siren start up, found out there was a call going out.
Joethaboss66 at the Engine House, two blocks up. The siren is at our Social Hall which was attached to the old station which the borough bought from us and built a new one back in late 80s.
WAY BEFORE MY TIME HERE LOL
hmm... It gets super quiet right after winding up... do the dampers close right after wind-up and only open a bit for hi-lo?
No its the camera compensating for the sound of the siren by lowering its gain so the audio doesn't sound like ear rape.
Prescott community fire co in Lebanon PA has one
Siren replaced by an Eclipse 8 as of 5/5/23.
Well that was an waste of manpower
The siren was beyond problematic even after the restoration. Had persistent motor problems. Wasn't worth dumping more money into
Ça marche très bien
And how is this beautiful sounding 3t22 doing?
I like this hi lo
Where in town is the siren located?
Hi Firefighter K how are you doing?
When do you guys test this siren is it still working? With hi lo
They don't test it because it is a fire siren. It sounds Hi-Lo for fire calls and is still in service. I have heard that they would sound it off for people who would want to record it though.
Do you know if the 2t22 at the Mount Zion firehouse is still active?
Good question, not really sure!
Guess I’m going to be asking today, now that you have my curious on it.
@@FirefighterKWann I would assume it’s active... was there another siren near it? If not, then it’s most likely active
Now that the siren is fixed, can you make a video of it doing 2 or 3 minute hi lo?
Since the siren blows for 3 minutes solid, that’s not a problem.
The problem however is being there when it’s activating, I’m normally heading to the firehouse lol.
@@FirefighterKWann Here is a video of a fire response with the siren however this siren has since bit the dust and has been removed and replaced with a new siren - czcams.com/video/lgDkN4j9WDU/video.html
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 how is that related
@@United_HVAC_and_Fans same thing in the video responding to the hall with siren sounding...
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 that is a thunderbolt in texas, nowhere near related to this, nor does this help me in any way.
Amazing! Sounds like the 10 port damper is leaking a bit, though..
RBMN Foamer question, what do you mean it’s leaking?
Firefighter K. Wann Some air is slipping through the damper itself. Simple patch job when you next maintenance it. If you guys still have the manual it shows you how to clean dampers and intakes iirc.
@@pennsy77 The 10 port damper is not leaking: czcams.com/video/wFD4jxOZpLg/video.html.
Joethaboss66 Incorrect. Dave fritz, someone who was helping with the overall refurbishment, did state it was leaking, plus you can hear the warble when the bottom damper closes
Some air will get through the dampers. They are not designed to be perfectly airtight. When the damper is shut it is just metal against metal. In addition, air can get in between the damper and the intake tube because the damper is not the same diameter as the intake tube. So in a way the damper is always leaking. In addition, that warble and undertone are not exclusive to when the bottom damper is closed. That warble and undertone are present in some form in most videos of 3T22's doing Hi-Lo.
Here are some examples of the warble/undertone:
czcams.com/video/kC0kpE45sWs/video.html&ab_channel=DerekThompson- It is most noticeable in this video

czcams.com/video/O3UgrJdoYyo/video.html&ab_channel=TinkerReece
that damper broke into peices
Is that radio fire company issued?
Yes, I’m a Firefighter, and a Chaplain with them.
Firefighter K. Wann oh ok nice
Nice video! When is this one tested?
Hi brother. It’s tested first Saturday of the month.
Goes off for accidents, CM alarms, structure assignments and AFAs
Sweet! Does it do hi lo for tests or just steady alert?
@@sirensofneohio3979 hi low, the one side sounds straight and other it blows high low. The one spring broke and we are fixing it.
Otherwise it blows hi lo. Next test we do I’ll record it and post it.
You guys need to adjust those dampeners. Not closing all the way.
Sean, curious what you mean by not closing, we ran multiple tests on it before we actually put it up, and my Chief made sure they were all closing and opening right.
It is in the works in the next two weeks to go up to it, and see whats up, we wont be taking it down of course, it costs way to much money to bring a crane in, and we already put out 11,000 on it.
That siren we are so fortunate in our town to have citizens that wanted that back up, and in fact demanded it stay up.
That took 4 of us to get it all finished and in place, so yes trust me, I want it working perfectly to :)
It is impossible to adjust a damper that does not close all the way on a 3T22 because the mechanism cannot become out of alignment. With the way the damper assembly is designed it's either totally broken or working fine, and this siren's dampers work fine. Watch this video of the siren: czcams.com/video/wFD4jxOZpLg/video.html.
It’s gone,no video
Alright,sound nice,if you ever get to Bridgeport PA,record the XT22
*sounds healthy*. That what I meant to say
How many calls on average this station gets? Thank you.
Hi Mike, Our station receivers over 300 a year roughly, last year being the highest in our history.
It goes off for car accidents, structure fires, and major medical calls like a cardiac arrest. That’s about half of that number roughly.
@@FirefighterKWann did you guys get that bent horn fixed?
@@WilliamNealyMusic Unfort not yet. Lol
Dispatch frequency is 151.220
Wonder if the SD10 at Leesport is still active
Why did you delete the other video of this siren?
It’s still posted. There’s 2 videos. Look on my videos listing.
I think he means the other new video I can’t find it either
@@cougarsteis oh I’m sorry I deleted it, it was the same just shorter from another activation. I shoulda kept it up lol
@@FirefighterKWann I actually have the video if you want me to give it to you so you can re-upload it.
@@Joethaboss66 yes plz if you have time. I thought they were the same but folks are telling me they are different with sound.
What year is this bad boy?
Jared Thompson March 2020 it was put back in service.
@@FirefighterKWann I think he means what year the siren was manufactured.
@@SirensandThunderbolts1003 oh ok not sure, def before I was born lol I’ll find out from one of the older FFs lol
@@FirefighterKWann id say somewhere around the 70's and 80's
we have a 3t22 a at Bridgeport fd
Yay someone else who is there,I’ve been there before,can you record it
@@alexmcface who me
Yeah
Sweet!
It's nice to see that your department takes such good care of the siren! Other places wouldn't even bother to repair broken solenoids once they fail and the siren would have stuck solenoids making it sound weird.
I just wish that Lucas county would hire someone to fix the 3t22 at the Washington township fire department. If anyone wants to come record it or find out more about the siren. The address is 2469 Shoreland Ave, Toledo Ohio 43611
Sean Pool its been reported and its in the ghetto lmao
@@seanpool8028 can you record it and post it for us to hear?
Sounds like on of the dampers is having problems
One of the dampers is leak or broken i think! Maybe adjust them.
The PC boy someone else mentioned that to, but maybe leaning toward the damper broke.
It is impossible to adjust a damper on a 3T22 because the mechanism cannot become out of alignment. With the way, the damper assembly is designed it can only be totally broken or working fine, and this sirens dampers work fine.

Sounds like a the dampers are a little bit weak but nice overall.
We are going to be fixing that when the warm weather hits us in March. Trust me it’s need to be fixed, all that money to fix it and it’s getting a added fix up 😁 thank you for the kind words overall. That is my pride and joy to get that fixed up. 😁
Hi kindal
