Air Raid Sirens Wiki

Welcome to The Air Raid Sirens Wiki!

This site is about air raid sirens. Most people know what these are, and they've most likely heard the sounds, but how many can tell you what they look like?

What they weigh? How they work? Who makes them? Not many! That's why this site exists--to satisfy anyone who wants to know more about these sirens.
