Say goodbye to ear-splitting sirens! To cut down on noise complaints and boost community wellbeing, firefighters will trial the UK’s first fully silent fire engine starting this April.
Goodbye Sirens, Hello Bicycle Bells and Whistles!
Instead of blaring sirens, the emergency crews will politely get your attention with:
- Bicycle bells
- Whistles
- A friendly shout of “Coming through, please!”
Quiet on the Streets, But Ready to Respond
Crews have been training hard in advanced bell-ringing skills to make sure you hear them coming—just not painfully loud. So if you spot these new silent fire engines rolling through your neighbourhood, show them the road and enjoy the peaceful sound of public safety in action!
