Shelby, NC 3T22 Hi-Lo / Attack | Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department
After lots of debate, I decided to go to Shelby to record their 3T22 instead of Boiling Springs, as it was closer. I arrived and asked to do some photo documentation of the controls. I asked to do Hi-Lo and was given the go-ahead by an older member of the fire department. This siren was installed in 1962, and ran Hi-Lo for Fire Calls, but only for a little while. There was a hospital nearby that complained back then, and then it was turned off for Fire Calls. It was originally painted Yellow but was taken down later to be repainted red. This was the first time it had run Hi-Lo in many years and was surprisingly functional given the Circumstances.
Do not misuse tones, or illegally activate sirens. Activating sirens without the expressed permission of your local governing body is extremely illegal and carries prison time + a several hundred thousand dollar fine.

1962! I didn't realize how old this siren is! But I'm glad it sounds so awesome for a GE-powered FS&S 3T22.

The GE motor has an unmistakable windup "curve", abruptly stops accelerating at full speed instead of a quick plateau.

I doubt they will because the siren is not used for fire calls anymore.

I like how the guy just says "1944" when asked about the model of the old fire truck. Although it looks to be a 1944 International, the windshield and roof looks like it came off of an old military 6×6 truck... while still having the same back glass from an international truck.
2 years later in 2024, tornadoes struck Michigan on the very date you sounded the hi-lo signal
Pretty hot. You should see about having that top damper fixed. That old fire truck was pretty neat too, I love seeing those old things.
Awesome!

Nope! It's dual tone, designed to sound that way plays two pitches at once
