    As a siren enthusiast, I love when towns still carry on the traditional noon siren blasts. That doesn’t happen much here in Ontario anymore.

    FYI, Milo’s siren isn’t an air raid siren, small sirens like Milo’s (a Federal Model 2 in this case) are typically fire sirens used to summon volunteer firefighters to the station during a fire call. Milo’s is on the fire department, so it’s probably the fire siren. They’re usually tested daily or weekly to make sure they work when needed.

      Odd they always called it an air raid siren, but I also know it has been replaced a few times now. Might have been one at one point.
