Sirens at 6 a.m.

We get sirens here all the time, major road to the coast and all, but the strangest time to hear sirens is when they are moving houses through the street. On the back of a truck of course! The other night, because a resident on the street got the 'beep beep' siren treatment because they almost backed right into the truck!

Once in awhile we hear the siren of an ambulance or firetruck. My mom prays when she hears sirens; sometimes she make the sing of the cross as well. I have never witnessed an accident. I am thankful for that.

We have sirens all over our neighborhood all hours of the days and nights. I live near a lot of senior housing complexes and there's always a fire truck or ambulance on my block. Also, I live in a densely populated neighborhood with lots of traffic, so there are always accidents. We also have violent crime around here. I work right next door to a fire station in a nicer neighborhood and I don't hear it nearly as often as I hear them around my house.

When I lived in town, I heard sirens all the time and every time I did, I'd say a prayer for them all. When I was working, like you said, if these people would go to the next intersection they'd have a protected light but most wouldn't. I saw a tractor trailer let someone through and when his light turned green, he forgot that the car was still there and pushed on his gas and literally pushed the car a few hundred feet before realizing it was still there!! I watched that all the way through and all the customers in my store saw it too and we were just so shocked we couldn't move and just screamed "Oh my God!" Oh my God!" Luckily no one was hurt but wow, I learned A LOT from that intersection. I had witnessed so many that I had to go to court on one of them because the one who was blamed, it wasn't his fault but the other driver because it was dark and he didn't have his lights on so the guy who was crossing couldn't see him. Where I live now, I hardly ever hear them, thank God! It makes me sick to my stomach though when I do because I care for others as if they're my own family and don't wish anybody any harm. I guess you can say I'm a worry wart. lol

we dont get to many sirens here in tulia, tx. but when we do it is more than likley out at the truck stop off the freeway they dive crazy there and think that no matter what they have the right of way and everyone should get out of thier way. but yes silent prayer every time.

i can hear sirens where i live all the time. and i have witnessed a accidnet we where driveing through the road and you hear cops comming following a car and it was doing about 70mph and then it ran a red light and it almost hit us but this white truck cut us off and hit it instead, it was the scareist thing ive ever seen but also the bravist thing. and i did pray for the people and when we got off to see what happned and who was inside the truck it was a women with a 1 year old boy! then the guy that hit her was running off and i saw him so i ran after him and tackled him to the ground and forced him to say sorry to every one for his actions. and he went to jail where he belongs i cant say it was the happiest ending but thats my story.

yes we hear them all thur the night and every time I hear one I always say a prayer

ElicBxn, we do hear the sirens during the night, but we live in such a small town that no matter where they start chances are we are going to hear it. Because its such a small town you really worry which of your neighbors, the sirens are going for. I have learned to tell the difference between squad cars, fire engines and the ambulance. All of which tells a story of its own. I hate the sound.

I live a mile from the hosptial on the same street, so while it's good for me to be near it because of my health, I hear sirens all the time. I see them all the time too. I am not sure where it is, but the fire station is nearby as well. I do hear the sirens in the wee hours of the morning, but thankfully they are usually muted.

Awww it's too bad you live so close..It's a stress! I live right down the road from an intersection where accidents happen also.I have had them go thru my fence into my horse pasture. xoxoxoxoxo
