Added by Pav on 26 October 2011.
That is what is was thinking!I have been around the fire service for 56 years and that is the first one I have ever seen.

It'd be like an air raid siren coming down the street - awesome!!

But why double-headed ? What's the point in letting people know when you've passed them ?

Added by Ian Moore on 30 October 2011.
This siren is common in Japan and has been so for many years. The Nissan engine came from Japan.

Ian, believe it or not the sound actually comes out the slotted sides, not the front cone which is the air intake, ,

Added by Pav on 30 October 2011.
Oh, I believe it, Pav - it's just there seem an awful lot of slots for the sound to come out of !
