Stone Harbor - A spouter who does not like the fire siren needs to remember that the only firemen who are going to show up in an emergency are volunteers, and they will only show up if they are alerted. The siren is a redundancy for when radio signals hit dead spots or cell signals are dropped. Also, they may not be 'married' to their pagers or phones while doing hard work, like painting or working on plumbing in a crawl space. Plus, it serves as a fair warning to motorists that there is an emergency and volunteers will be responding to the station. As for the noon siren, some folks just like it.
