Federal Signal Corp. said a state court jury in Cook County found in its favor in a civil case in which 27 firefighters had claimed they suffered hearing loss from being exposed to the loud fire-truck sirens that Federal Signal manufactures.

The Oak Brook company, which makes a variety of products ranging from street-sweeping equipment to police-car light bars, said the jury took less than two hours to reach its verdict and reject the firefighters' claims.
