This is the old SD-10 from Milan, Michigan. This image was shot on Kodak Ektachome 200 slide film in March, 1989.

Here's a Whelen WPS-200-16 shot in March, 1989 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This image was shot on Kodak Ektachome 200 slide film.

There is nothing finer than a picture shot on slide film, colors are so good and crisp on slide film. I continued to shoot fire apparatus with slide film until I couldn't find anyone to process it anymore and than switched to digital.

Sterling Colorados Thunderbolt a few weeks before it was removed. In the lower left corner you can see the head of the dog park Sentry that replaced this beauty.
Where Is That Sentry? Is it that 16V2T Looking pole?

Here are a few of my pictures that I would consider epic, first off this Thunderbolt 1003 in the middle of absolute nowhere in the back mountains of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Siren is fully self contained, as there is a building at the base of it with a generator for the siren. I have no idea what it's purpose could possibly be, it is too far from the Berwick area to be part of the Susquehanna Steam Nuclear Power Plant system. It reminds me of an installation that you would find for a military type establishment though there is none in the area that I am aware of.

if it has a backup generator then its a thunderbolt 7000 of some sort
I guess in a general sense it could be considered like a 7000 series except that it runs off of commercial power unless there is a power outage, the 7000 series is a self contained movable system that is designed to run solely off of the generator and would never be hooked up to commercial power. The generator for this one was definitely a later add on and not a factory set up, I looked around it and could see a standard transfer switch mounted outside to switch power over to the generator when needed. The question remains does the generator come on as soon as power is lost in the area or does it only kick on when a request is made for the siren to sound with a loss of power in the area?? Still one of the oddest things I have ever seen especially considering where it is located.
That's not exactly true. You can put the 7000 somewhere and have it run off the generator, or off the power grid. The ones that were in Kuwait ran off the power grid for the most part, but I'm sure there were exceptions when they ran on the batteries and generator. Power is needed in order to keep the batteries charged, so if the case of power loss, the batteries keep the radios and controllers online and will start the generator when the siren is activated.
My knowledge excels on the Federal Thunderbolt siren and SiraTone EOWS sirens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
