Here's one I know I've posted. It's located in Cedar Vale, Kansas. They have another one I believe. http://www.flickr.com/photos/courthouselover/8226238966/sizes/k/in/photostream/ That's a beautiful photo of the Soundmaster 125 by the way, with the flag waving in the foreground. Do you happen to kn...

Sorry if this photo has made the rounds before but I came across it on eBay and found it curious to say the least. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BS-PHOTO-abs-559-Civil-Defense-Baltimore-Maryland-zMilitary-United-States-Miscel-/390474998182?pt=Art_Photo_Images&hash=item5aea1fa1a6 It's of a rooftop sire...

A SoundMaster 125, nice find! It's great to see there are more of these sirens around. To answer the question above, yes, when the siren is functioning properly, the horns face the same direction and sit one on top of the other, then the unit rotates. Unfortunately, it seems this particular model is...

I was driving through Mt. Pleasant in southeastern Iowa back in March and stumbled across one of these I believe. It was next to a baseball diamond on some sort of fairgrounds, so at first I figured it was a P.A. system, but an elementary school was nearby as well so I snapped a picture in case it t...

I caught this story in a bulletin my church sends out a month or so ago. I remember thinking it was a strange place to come across a siren story, but if I remember correctly the town was able to purchase a Sentry siren, though probably not through the girl's funding alone, there were other donors.

That makes sense, that's the same time Newton and most of Jasper county test their sirens. They had much more of a set up, electrical wise, at the campground last week so I'll be on hand with a camera next Wednesday and we'll see what happens!

Well I've driven out to Rock Creek the least three Wednesdays and so far the siren hasn't sounded. The second time I tried to find a DNR Ranger to ask if it had broken down again but their office was empty and their trucks were gone. The third time there was a bird crawling up into part of the siren...

Well, if they can keep with their tentative schedule, I'll be there tomorrow at noon with a video camera. I can't promise anything but if it goes off, I'll get it on film.

Here's a sad story developing in Altoona, Iowa, just outside of Des Moines. Two teens crashed their car into a pole supporting a Federal siren. The impact killed one, split the car in half, and appears to have toppled the siren. Here's the link to the story. http://www.whotv.com/news/who-story-fatal...

Sorry to keep bringing up this post, but those interested will be glad to hear that the Oakland Acres SoundMaster is now functioning correctly again. I recently heard from the city that an electrical firm did an overhaul on the siren and they now hope to do some testing with in the near future and a...
