The oldest siren recordings from enthusiasts

Sat Mar 08, 2025 10:08 pm

Hi. I’m making this to maybe find the first siren recorded by an enthusiast. The oldest one I know is the garland hurricane from 2004. Can anyone help find the oldest? I saw this site goes back to 1995.

There was that very old recording of an Aca Hurricane MKII you can find on YouTube. I believe it of of the "Over rated" Aca hurricane at fire station 39 in Milwaukee WI.
