That's all for now, I'll have more later this weekend. I'm going on a large hunt on Saturday and should get a good amount of sirens.

If you ever get to Carroll County, tell me what they have in Delphi. They used to have an old, rusty Sterling M-10, but the last time I was there (years ago), it was gone. Flora and Pyrmont had one too.

[Conky 2000]

That's a weird siren (the first picture of Montpelier). It looks like a Model 1 and Model 3, 5, or 7 crossed.

lemme know if you visit south bend because we have family there but the last time I was there I was tooo little to care about sirens so I always wonder what kind they have

I went on another siren hunt today. Found some interesting things from Henry County

New Castle,
siren 1

siren 2
http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5703870
http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5703869 - unusual for a 2001
siren 3
http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5703867
http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5703868 - ok, blurry but still unusual for a 2001
siren 4
http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5703873 - all of the 2001's are like this. I could not figure out what model they went to but they had the old logo on them.

Mount Summit,

Mooreland,
http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5703865 - I believe this came from New Castle

Middletown,

Knightstown,

siren 2

Mechanicsburg,

I believe this one also came from New Castle. The EMA for Henry County took over all of the sirens in the county. They've been changing/updating things for a few years now. The Thunderbolt in Mooreland and this siren in Mechanicsburg where just put in this year.

That's all for now,

Is that a Whelen Hornet?

[Matt Hackler]

Yes, that is a Whelen Hornet. It's actually bigger than you would think. azman798, I'm pretty sure that South Bend has all or mostly 2001's. Here is a map of there siren system, http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5704352. All the pics of sirens I've ever seen from there are 2001's and this seems like a very comprehensive and well thought out layout. So I'm guessing that they all are 2001's.

looks like another siren on the building and what is those horn things?

[Matt Hackler]

I believe those speakers and the small siren on the Fire Station are part of the old VFD stuff. One of the people that work for me lives in Mooreland and said about 4 weeks ago that they no longer heard the sirens in there. Then last week she said she heard a new and much louder siren that turns and is bright yellow (she lives across the street). I was hoping for a yellow 2001 because they look cool, but a T-bolt is awsome as well.

Yeah, Topeka has 3 that i know of, not sure if there is anymore in the county anywhere. They look pretty cool in person.
