Lightning Strikes Fire Station (sets off siren)
Ғылым және технология
NOTE: For lightning, skip to 00:52.
A series of cells passed through the suburbs of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA on Wednesday, 7th of January, 2015.
There were 2 VERY close strikes from where I live in FTG. And with much luck, the second strike happened right at the same moment I was filming for the storms, and that it was right in the camera's field of vision.
The strike managed to set off the local fire station's siren, that is situated on the lookout tower.
Footage by Martin Fellner, Copyright January, 2015.

for a siren like this? it probably has a rectifier and a transformer, and maybe a wail circuit in place with some simple switches, but no complex electronics like a motherboard. Plus things like this have a device called a lightning arrestor, which basically stops as much current flow as it can. granted I wouldn't be surprised if it blew a fuse or 2.

Sounds like the wail circuit didn't get affected, as it wailed like it normally would. It's possible that an electrical spike caused the thing to think someone pushed the button/switch to operate it.

Arman Kordi They do have motherboards in some siren controllers. I think it's only electronic sirens, but I'm not entirely sure.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!! That shit scared the living hell out of me... If that ever happens right near me at my dads fire department, the whole fire house will be on flames! Not that video! I'm talking about right near me. And your video has been uploaded a month ago? Jesus Christ.. That there, it really, really give me chills man. Oh my god..
Wow! I had the headphones on, and I also had Dolby Access on the movie setting on "Detailed," and I got the scare of this day! That was so loud! Great catch. I'm just glad nobody got hurt. What I thought was so exceptional is that those birds got out of the way just before it struck! It just goes to show that our Heavenly Father really does care for them and us. I know you got a good scare from it, too, but you wouldn't know it. That's self control. Keep up the great work, and I hope you have more amazing videos like this. This one should appear on "Weather Gone Viral" on The Weather Channel.

The lightning wanted to strike the siren to warn the population of a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for this area (although this is in Australia and not the United States so there wouldn't be the National Weather Service in Australia)

Not a lightning siren, its a fire callout siren that likely malfunctioned due to the static energy.
How did lighting set off the siren?
when that freaking lightning striked i jumped so much and it scared me so much
I love the sound of the griffco 888 siren bring back memories
I had my volume down, still woke up the neighborhood.
it hit the antina and somehow the siren activated when lighting doesent send dtmf signals (duh) the translater circuit probably was overcharged so much it sparked across all the gates in the circuit board (most likely fried in the process)
0:55 HOLY CHERNOBYL! For a second there, I almost jumped out of my desk chair. That scared the living daylights out of me!
Lighting: GET UP ARE YOU GONNA WARN ME THAT THERES LIGHTING HUHH? Siren: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU
To anyone not aware of what the hell happened - The Lightning touched the steel tower thingy in the background.
That was nice filming.
Actually some fire station sound there sirens for lightning so it may have been a perfectly time sound or the electricity connected with the panel during the strike it’s 50/50
That must suck to have the siren that close to your house
The siren was like "OMFG! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!"
Lightning and Thunder: SUPRISE MOTHERF***ER Siren:(cries like a baby)
Welded those contacts together real quick.
Lightning: WAKE UP! Siren: Oh nooooooooooooo! My voice is Jennifer ouch!
The second it went off I literally fell of my chair and my cupboard fell down.
Was it actually the lightning strike that activated the alarm or was it a coincidence? PS: It's usually a courtesy on videos like this to have a 'high volume warning' so people don't harm their ears or disturb others if they have not set the volume correctly for this particular loud video. :-)
