Small towns around here blow the whistle at 7 am, 12pm, 1pm, and 6 pm. Does your town do it? Out in the country here we can hear 3-4 sirens from different villages. It's hard on the folks working night shift and sleep in the day.

I hear the one in town 8 miles away. Usually at noon and 5.
When I'm deer hunting I start watching when the 5:00 whistle goes off.

When I was going up..our town blew that Fire House horn at Noon and 5 pm.
And if your were on the same street as the fire station when it blew...you about schaat yah pants.
It caught me many times.
Also ...that horn would do like a Morse code blasts....to alert everyone where a fire was.
Our fire alarm down the street was #15 ....so you’d get 1 blast....pause...then 5 quick blasts....and people knew where the fire was
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

If they do, I am far enough away that I can't hear it.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Our small town blow a siren at 10 every day. Also used for storm alerts but sometimes they are late to the issue AM or PM? Interesting

The town I grew up in used to blow the towns fire whistle / siren at noon and 6pm.
The fire department used to blow the siren 3 times for a town fire and 6 times for a rural fire.

my home town is noon and 9pm
my current town is for when the volunteer fire department is called lets you know to get out of the way.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Ours use to at noon but come to think of it I haven't heard it in a long time. I don't live in town so maybe I just haven't been there at noon in awhile.
Poor people have poor ways.
