Lights and Sirens

The Texas Fire Museum houses a large collection of vintage emergency vehicle lights, sirens, horns, and traffic warning devices.  The exhibit includes early-period fire lanterns, fixed/steady-burning lights, flashing lights, oscillating lights, rotating beacons, twin beacon light bars, and current-era light bars.  Sirens included in the collection include hand-crank, mechanical, electro-mechanical, and modern electronic models.

In the South Bay, visitors will find an interactive display that allows them to operate the sirens and lights on display to see and hear them in action.   The photos in this section show only a few of the lights and sirens on display.
