There may not be a frequency. It could possibly be done via the internet or phone line, are you sure they are doing it over a radio frequency?

I heard someone have a scanner on recently in a youtube video and heard like a dtmf code

That sounds like a signal over a phone line or computer rather than a radio frequency to my ears.

If it was on a phone line or computer then how was the audio recorded?
Somebody with a scanner or radio was next to the siren recording it. There are lots of similar videos.

The OP needs to determine what government entity operates the sirens then find all FCC licenses for them. Look for antennas on the siren pole or equipment box. That will probably tell you what band they use.

Per this website local municipalities run & maintain their own sirens...

How long ago. Fire bells sheriff tone out and siren control was on 155.040 backi in the day as well.

This would of been in mid to late 1990s and maybe early 2000s. I have family down there and often would bring my scanner.

I'm not saying that, @prowisscan said they used to be for Burlington, I'm saying they are active still in the FCC database and come Saturday morning (or next test) you should check them it out.

Here is a list of all licensed PW frequencies for the city and county of Recine, you can go through and see if any work. If they are using RF to activate then it most likely is on this list.

Racine still activates based upon those frequencies.
