Toluca, IL, probably the greatest siren town I've been to yet. In this small town of 1300, there are 4 Thunderbolts and an ACA Cyclone. The Cyclone was their original siren, and then they acquired the 4 Thunderbolts from Michigan for practically nothing in 2007. They all look really nice although it's kind of hard to tell in the video. Toluca is proud of them and takes real good care of them.

The first test is done by the county and only the 4 Thunderbolts go off. The second test is done by the fire department and all 5 sirens go off then. I am standing between the 2 1000Ts at the very northern edge of town. The very northern one, which is the one the camera is pointing at during the tests, is sounding I believe at chopper 2 and rotates at 4 RPM, and the one directly behind me at the water tower is sounding at chopper 3. Also heard is a chopper 1 1000T on the east end of town at the school on Atchison Ave. and Walnut St. and then heard at some points, especially at 3:28, is a chopper 4 B-Series 1000T at the fire department at Railroad Ave. and Lincoln St. The Cyclone right in downtown is only heard during the second test.
