I have seen a picture of an outdoor "civil defense" siren at Universal Studios.

I hate places that are so anti-siren like that. I guess they can't be bothered. They fail to understand that a multi-tiered warning system is most effective. The entire state of Florida is pretty much like that. Everyone hates sirens and won't even consider a siren system. Except for places around t...

I like the NYPD Vector lightbars with the LED system that simulates rotation. It seems like every department is going with thin LED lightbars.

I am disappointed that they aren't considering Whelens. Both Sunbury and Galena already have Whelens. Delaware City, however, has 2001's. Some of the township fire depts have Model 5's or Sterlings. I bet the new EMA director will probably settle on Federal Signal 2001's. I just don't see them going...
