Only a little related, but I live near a firehouse and their siren is obnoxiously loud, and I always wonder who is it for? What purpose does a super loud siren serve? I'm like 2 blocks away and it hurts the ears.. Is it really necessary to alert a 4 block radius that your scrambling the squirt gun trucks? They must have radios and cell phones and yet if they get a call they need an air raid siren like we're surviving the blitz?
yes, because it warns cars to clear out in front of the fire station.
the same reason they blare the siren when they on the road. so people will get out of the way.
I could understand that if they were on a busy street but their not, their on a side street with very little traffic and their trucks have sirens and flashing lights..
I feel like they could make people aware without making my ears bleed. This sounds like the silly "safety" argument Harley riders use to justify thier obnoxious exhaust pipes.
