ACA Allertor siren - Philomont Volunteer Fire Department

My first siren video ever! This pole-mounted ACA Allertor serves as the Philomont Volunteer Fire Department in Loudoun County, Virginia's house siren. This siren is from the 1970s and may have once been part of Washington, DC's civil defense system. It didn't sound as healthy as I hoped, but it still packs a pretty good punch. The fire chief gave me a tour of the siren controls. You can hear he and I talking. Many thanks to chief Ed Zimmerman and the Philomont VFD!
