Firefighters at West Seattle’s Fire Station 36 are reportedly psyched about their brand new siren and are waiting until the next time you’ve reached a deep, fulfilling slumber before testing it out.
“We’re really excited about the decibels on this baby,” said Station 36 Lieutenant Rudy Adolpho. “We’re waiting until we’ve got a nearly-silent nighttime backdrop before we really let her rip.”
But not everyone in the neighborhood is supportive of the upgrade.
“I know those firefighters are just over there, waiting for me to fall into a deep sleep,” said James Thorpson, who lives nearby. “But the joke’s on them: I’m jobless and anxious from reading news all day — I’m never going to sleep!”
At press time, firefighters were gassing their rig the fuck up and getting ready to bring the noise.
