          Small sirens are usually used on vehicles such as fire engines, as they are audible at a longer distance than electronic vehicle sirens. Small sirens are also often used in industrial sites, where they are used as general indoor emergency sirens and lunch whistles. They are also often used by rural volunteer fire departments as fire sirens to summon firefighters to the station during a fire call. They’re perfectly suited for short range use.
