Portland Fire and Rescue Truck 13 responding with Medic 312 on a TR3 to the Lloyd Center Ice Center at 1529 on 12/29/08. A TR3 is a traumatic injury to a non critical area. The whoop-whoop sound you hear at the beginning is the station alert tone for Trucks. Engines have a slightly different tone. This lets station personnel know which company is being dispatched before the verbal description of the call comes in.

Thanks for the question. The brand name is Z-Tron — I believe they have a web site … they offer various station alert tones, etc. In the Portland F&R Dept., Engines have one tone, Trucks another, Boxes another, etc.

Hi. I work in the airline industry, but have followed fire departments as a hobby since the ’70s. It all started one Saturday night in ‘73 when I was 10 years old and saw the TV show Emergency! for the first time. I’ve been hooked on fire department operations ever since.
