When was Lansing's Thunderbolt system installed?

Sat Dec 23, 2023 2:21 pm

I have wondered about this for awhile. I'm guessing that they put them in in the 1960s, but I'm not too sure about it. Can anyone help me figure out when they were put up?

I've heard 1963 as an exact year that gets thrown around, apparently the whole system replaced a single Chrysler and fire sirens. It's definitely sometime in the 1960's

RIP the system. Served a good 60 years

Wait, Lansing had a Chrysler? I didn't even know that! where would it have been located?
Also, were the Fire sirens sterling, ericks, or horns?

Chrysler map says it would've been on the 200 Grand Ave. Building. The fire sirens were likely Model 5's and STH-10's. Stuff like that
