Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003 | Hastings, MI | Full Attack | 4/1/23
After Clarksville's minor disappointment, I came out to here to check up on how this thing was doing, and I was quite surprised by what happened, but also quite pleased. A fire department guy came out and told us 911 was going to be testing it today, so it would only do 1 rotation. That 1 rotation sure did last a while. Afterwards, the FD was kind enough to give us an inside tour of how the 1003 is set off and what the control arrangement is, so a HUGE thanks to the Hastings Fire Department for that! This was a very memorable test. Enjoy!

Oof that water is gonna wreak havoc on the metal and electrical parts... They really should look into where the water is getting into as well as fix that slipping rotator. Nice video!
Gotta love all that water in there. Awesome Video!

Yep, just a thing that happens to it apparently. Thanks!
Damn you can really see the power this thing has with the way it makes the camera shake! In my honest opinoin, they should stop using this thing and just get a new siren since it's just killing itself at this point.

Once again I hope they fix it soon and don’t scrap it
Is the motor rotator alright tho?
It's puking! I'm hoping that only the horn has water in it, but deep inside, I know it's also inside of the chopper. Why else would it hick up right as water started gushing?
Super video 😂😊
What's that siren underneath the 1003?

I'll tell you what the problem is, #1 someone isn't giving this thing proper maintenance, and #2 water is easily getting into the siren possibly even into the blower which is causing all of the water to spew out of the horn which scares me, this thing can be on it's way out due to water damage soon if it isn't taken care of. Most thunderbolts should handle that kind of weather, this one obviously has something broken on it making it easier for water to lurk inside of the unit itself. And hey it could be from the horn but if it was like that for any other thunderbolt I'm positive most thunderbolts wouldn't make it past 20 years.

Thing is they do make attempts to maintain it, and West Shore maintains this one as well. The FD guy told me since its the first time it was tested this year it was a bit slow.

I wouldn’t say most Thunderbolts wouldn’t handle 20 years, as most Thunderbolts I know we’re running for probably slightly more, and weren’t bad at all. The only one ik that is over 20 years old and is starting to show it’s age is the Federal Sign & Signal Thunderbolt 1000 atop the city hall in Racine, WI. Other ones get maintained well, like Lake Bluff’s 1003 for example and it was also relocated a few times. I think it was first installed sometime after 1955
