Fire station siren meanings

Fire bells were an important piece of equipment for firefighting in the nineteenth century. Prior to the formation of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in 1884, Sydney’s fire protection was carried out by independent groups, such as volunteer fire brigades whose members would respond to their local fire bells. The small bells used by these brigades could not always be heard by the firefighters it needed to reach and so impacted their efficiency in responding to fires.

I'm guessing it depends on the games or experiences you are doing.  I strickly play beat saber, synth rider, and the like (for exercise), where as my kids like more of the sit down things which I'm sure uses less battery. I need to change batteries faster than they do. I start to lose tracking on beat saber after about an hour all while it says they are at 100%. But if I do an experience... like on Wander, the batteries last forever

TENAVOLTS 1.5V AA Lithium Rechargeable Battery, 1.8h Fast Charge, USB Charger, Constant Output at 1.5V, 2775 mWh, 4 Count with Charger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HQ7QV7W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_65NXA219SP1D4N478T0B?_encoding=UTF8...

I was told to ONLY use 1.5V AA's in the quest 2 controllers as the 1.2V will not supply adequate power. They're 100% right! I bought 1.2V by mistake and totally ruined the enjoyment of playing beat saber.

THANK YOU!  Wondering if I could get away with just buying batteries since I just bought Hixon 4 slot charger w/batteries (1.5V  3500mWh)... chrgr input: DC5V 2A  OUTPUT: DC5V 500mA*4

Fire Station alerting system cost

For some stations, their siren could be activated remotely by a ‘000’ operator. Mortdale, Rhodes and Merrylands were among the first to receive this equipment and in 1970 it was also extended to Engadine, Avalon and Berowra. The first mention of a pocket pager for volunteer (retained) staff can be traced to 1983, owing to further improvements in communications technology. While some station sirens still remain, their need for use has been minimised over the years.

The Museum of Fire respects and acknowledges the Dharug people as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the land on which the museum stands.

I've used Eneloop standard 1900mahr rechargeables with all my Oculus controllers for a very long time and I get excellent runtimes with these.  Plus, they seem to last forever.  I'm pretty sure the higher voltage ni-zn ones are only useful for WMR headsets like the HP Reverb G2 because their controllers led's light up like flashlights, lol!  These are not necessary for Oculus controllers and I do not think there will be any advantages using them (although they probably will work ok).

Firehouse Alarmsound

To resolve this issue, a large turret bell was installed at the Insurance Companies Fire Brigade Station in Bathurst Street, Sydney in 1860. This was to act as a centralised fire alarm system. With the advancements in telecommunications, the need for the fire bell alarm system diminished in metropolitan New South Wales. However, fire bells remained in use throughout New South Wales for a long time after.

In a 1956 edition of the New South Wales Fire Brigades Fire Service Journal, the importance of the fire alarm system is highlighted, stating that:

Fire Department siren codes

The Museum of Fire has its very own siren out the front of the main building. Keep an eye out for it next time you visit the Museum!

“When a call is received what is the first duty of the first man at the station? Start the motor engine? No! Open the station doors? No! The first duty is to call the other members of the brigade by either ringing their house bells, by sounding the station siren or large bell. We can, and we MUST have all the members MOVING as soon as possible.”

Seems my 1.6v are working like the tenevolt and lasts about as long. Just not sure if 1.6v will eventually damage controller or not. May just get both sets and try em since i have so many things that take batteries.

I use tenavolts 1.5v constant rechargeable. Comes with 4 pack so it’s perfect for instant swapping. Great reviews on Amazon.

After trying my rechargeable energizer 1.2 v, seemed ok but wasnt sure if was losing some tracking from lighting and software issues or from battery. After searching reddit and oculus threads, came across a few people that recommend enelop or enelop pro. 1 thread however broke down all the types of batteries: lithium, alkaline, Ni-Mh and Ni-Zn. Wish I would have marked it cause i cant find it again, but pretty sure the jist of it was that most of the battery types taper off or lose V as they drain, and that he recommended Ni-Zn. I got a set of Pikcell 1.6V 2500 mwh which he recommended. Had them in for around 2 weeks playing for at least an hour or 2 each day. After 2 weeks of play, both batteries still showed 100% in headset, then suddenly 1 controller said battery was dead and shut off. Took it out and tested it, and it was in fact dead, and now showing 10% in headset. Replaced it with a fully charged one, tested other controller just to see and its battery still had lots of life after 2 weeks. Started playing again and same thing happened to other controller with used battery. I know inside controller says 1.5V, and lots of people recommend enelop. Curious if anyone knows which type (alkaline, Ni-Zn, lithium) are best for them.

Homemade fire station alerting system

Promptly alerting firefighters to an incident can make all the difference in an emergency situation. Over the centuries, these methods have evolved from fire bells through to electrical station sirens, and from the modern pager to advanced radio systems, to call the brigade into action.

In the early twentieth century, electrical station sirens began replacing fire bells as an improved system of communications. The final ‘death’ of the fire bell was noted in 1959 as siren and house bells were installed across the state. Like the bell, the size of the siren demonstrated the distance from which it could be heard. As would be expected, regional and remote locations would require a larger siren to alert their personnel.

Are those good for the quest 2 as well as the 1? The question was in regards to the q2 wich is what I have.... and also looking to find the best batteries due to lagging tracking

I know NOTHING about electric. All I know is I play Beat Saber about 2 hrs a day, and after about an hour, tracking starts going, although it says 100% on both controllers. Never happened with the original batteries

mine last at least about 2 weeks + but I use everyday for multiple hours. But like I said comes in 4 pack so you can just swap them instantly. Link is above.
