I actually helped out with that project in 1998 (and did the hard wiring of the control unit in the dispatch center). Compliance Technologies was awarded the installation contract. 17 sirens were installed, and 11 were removed. One of the older sirens was an early gen. 2001, 2 others were Thunderbolts, and the other 8 were 2T22's. One of the thunderbolts was on springdale RD, the other was on the roof of the communications center. The siren site at the airport was the worst of them all, as we had to cut through a "jungle" of underbrush just to gain access to the site and move equipment in...
The RM130s are a sweet setup...AC/DC powered. I understand that the 2001 was also relocated later on as part of the project. I enjoyed the time I spent at Pecos Red's and Gushers during the evenings, and buying 3.2 beer for the first time ever at a convenience store (none of that back east).

Some blame the management and some the employees, and everybody knows it's the industrial disease....
