I had no idea there were Thunderbeams in the FC system. I wonder if Upper Arlington chose Thunderbeams because they look more aesthetically pleasing than other models? Pretty sure it was just whatever was recommended from Franklin County Disaster Services (what EMA used to be called), or whatever t...

Hello all! Thanks to Kurt (fire_freak_57) on giving me access to much better vintage aerial imagery from the ODOT Aerial Imagery Archive. With the help of this imagery, I have been able to make some sense of some of the original sirens that were installed in Wilmington in 1978 and after. There are ...

It's quite possible. Newark had one Thunderbolt along with some Thunderbeams, but I'm not exactly sure when they were installed.

Newark's Thunderbolt is from the 1950s or 60s, the Thunderbeams were added around the mid-1980s.

Allegedly, the 2 STL-10s in Montplier, Ohio [Williams County] are from the old Franklin County Civil Defense System.

They are, along with several others. I have the articles saved somewhere and they're also on the map in that section.

The one near campus isn't there?? If anyone knows of old T-Bolt or other siren locations I'm still interested in putting a map together of the Franklin County CD system prior to the Whelens being installed in the early '80s. I have about 25 locations mostly westside and northside. I have a map base...

:D :D WOW-Just WOW!!! :D :D Incredible. I was hoping something like this would turn up. I briefly looked at your map. Some info I have: *Siren #89: B+M horizontal siren (from old pic of Jackson Twp. fire station) *Neil House Hotel (demolished 1981, now Huntington Center) first T-Bolt in system *Sir...

Wow! Some really cool stuff coming out recently, my compliments to everyone! Would anyone by any chance know of a fedelcode model 2 siren (or similar) on Shier Rings Rd. west of Avery road owned by Washington Township? I know Fletch that you stated you found out about it in a newspaper (do you stil...

Butler County cancelled as well. Unfortunately I was not aware that the temperature policy for those counties (I was in Clermont today) was an issue so I did not call ahead to ask if the test was going to go forward prior to making the hour drive there. If the temperature and weather cooperates next...

Ive been hearing rumors lately of a MKII once being in Fayetteville, Ohio. Is this True? Pardon the long bump. I don't frequent the board anymore but felt I should address this. No, there was not a Hurricane in Fayetteville. Their old siren was a Model 2 which is now on display. I have done extensi...
