I am totally serious, have you seen the problems?

Maybe you'd prefer NO fire station, might that be quiet enough for you?

Snarky. Suggesting we do more of the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. The sirens are too loud as it is and there are so many people are getting immune to the constant wailing. Maybe try a different siren like the ones they have in Europe with a two tone siren with different frequencies would alert people. How about using AI to determine the emergency priority instead of responding with sirens on every call. There has to be a better solution than louder sirens more often than the ridiculous situation we have downtown now.

Snarky asking you a valid question?

And yet you think a two tone siren will change anything when the current ones are being ignored, that would also be insanity, ...SMH
 
Perhaps the fire station was built at a time there were few people living nearby, so consideration was not given the noise.

But things change and if we want our downtown to be more liveable and bearable we need to seriously consider things like noise pollution.

Suggesting people nearby just suck it up is poor response, probably by someone who doesn't even live or work in the area.
 
I think that's Edmonton's oldest fire station. If the station went back to horse-drawn carriages, there'd be a lot of complaints!
 
Yes ind

Yes two tone sirens do make a difference. Now only if you would take the time to do a little research before making comments it would make everyone’s life so much easier. The current sirens we use are dangerous for the poor pedestrians who are expected to tolerate them and you want to make them even louder. Dear dear.

Are we really complaining about the noise emergency vehicles are making? We are through the looking glass now people!
