The dog is answering the howl of the siren. You try howling, your dog will howl with you.

Dogs are social animals. One of the ways they communucate is by vocalization. Fire truck sirens evidently sound like howls or whines to them on some level. They respond with their own communications until I tell them to knock it off or until they learn that I'm going to be really P.O.ed at them if they start howling.

The sirens:
1. Mimic howling.
2. Have high pitched overtones that irritate your dog.

It is the high pitch of the sirens that upset dogs' sensitive ears.

The shrill noise hurts your dogs ears. Also, the sound may agitate your dog.
