  • Ok I feel I should say again why there are 2 sirens next to each other since I get a million comments about that. The 508 is replacing the 612. Same went for the other 612s in Monroe. Update 5/13/17: the 612 has been taken down. 10/5/16: Note: was not expecting the 612 to do anythhing otherwise I would have set up a better angle. A good example of mechanical and electronic sirens tested side by side, of course no telling what won this battle. The 508 was put up I believe over a year ago, while the 612 was believed to be dead (as seen in my video several years ago of the same siren) Today sure was a shock as both activated! No idea why they put up a 508 since the 612 wails like it should. I wondered if they just simply slapped an MC on it since the other 612's wind up immediately while this one was like Brighton Twp's 612. (yes Noie I know you told me but I have CRS "cant remember shit) Anyways enjoy and no the other 612's are still standing alone with no other 508's in sight.

    Ok since description isn't being read, feel I should answer the number 1 question asked. There are 2 sirens in the same spot because the 508 is replacing the 612.

    The Modulator 6024 was replaced by a 508. It was still on street view as of 2016 but by now it’s gone as satellite view has been updated and it’s nowhere in sight. The 6024 and the 508 are both on N Garver Rd by the railroad tracks.

    508: *watches and hugs eows*
    EOWS: *blushes* awww
    508: *watches* wait- OMG IS THIS THE PART 2?? HOW COULD YOU?
    EOWS: S-sorry hun didn't know..sorry
    508: I HATE YOU!!
    --An hour later--

    508: OFCOURSE LOL! It was a joke!
    EOWS: Really?
