Pleasant City, OH - Federal Electric Type B - 2 Minute Attack- 3/18/22
Basic Information:
Siren: Federal Electric Type B
Town: Pleasant City, Ohio (Guernsey County)
System: None
Location: Pleasant City VFD
Tested: Never
Uses: Fire Siren (Rarely sounds for those)
Cycle: 2 Minutes of Attack
Other notes:
I was down in the region and the wonderful fire chief over at Pleasant City VFD offered to set their old siren off for me. I didn't know what I was going to be filming until I showed up, but I definitely wasn't expecting an old Type B like this. I was informed that this siren came from a nearby mine (likely the same mine where Senecaville got theirs) and put it at the fire station in the 50s. I'm guessing this was probably a 30s model Type B however I'm not 100% sure on that. Anyways, I was treated to roughly 2 minutes of attack on the quiet Type B, however it probably covers the small village. This siren really isn't used anymore as the fire station uses pagers, however he said if they feel it's necessary, they'll sound it. I'd assume they would sound it in a weather emergency too. Big thanks to PCVFD for setting this off! Glad I could get a video of this as obviously it's not used much and is probably on it's last leg as it's in some rough shape.

It's already over a century years old. The later Model Bs have a different kind of design that dates sometime around 1926. This would be like 1918 design or somewhere around there.
Very cool, rusty, and neat. I have NEVER gotten something set off for me or have gotten to set something off!
Oh yeah, this is *DEFINITELY* alert Nice catch!

Looks and sounds. Just a bit!
Hoo wee that’s an oldie; I’m betting late 1910’s-early 1920’s B. Not too many videos of these 1st Generation ones out there. Awesome video!

I was going to gamble on 20s but I really have no clue. I'll have to do some digging and see if I can find anything from when the mines got them

They barely even use it, so I don't know if they will.
Crusty as hell, but sounds pretty healthy
The inactive Type B in Butler, MO is in the exact same condition as this one is in. interesting.

Federal sure made good sirens for that thing to last that long. Especially seeing how that thing had to endure the NE Ohio weather.
thing needs restored
Scary sound.
