    I heard it last night about 2am walking home from work, scared the crap out of me. It sounded like a tornado warning or something.

    Anyone know what it is?

    I heard one of these in Wicklow town the other weekend, roughly 11am on a Sunday morning. Scared the crap out of me too and I wondered if they'd implemented a cunning tsunami warning system. Didn't see anyone run to the hills, so assumed not...

    It's the fire alarm in one of the local factories in the vale.

    It's a siren called a master blaster. It can be connected to anything like burglar alarms, fire alarms or golf coarses to warn of lightening and obviously its purpose is to heard from a big distance.
