North Jersey Sirens

Sun Jun 04, 2017 9:11 pm

Hi everyone, I have been looking for a place to discuss sirens for a long time. I'm from Northern New Jersey and don't know if there are many enthusiasts up here but there a ton of systems operational and non-operatonal. The ones I have seen are as follows:
Newark: Thunderbolt, Model 5
East Orange: SD-10, Model 5
Bloomfield: Model 5
Lyndhurst: 4004s, 2807
Cedar Grove: SD-10
Nutley: STH-10
Hudson County: ATIs
Elizabeth: Thunderbolt
Paterson: 2810s
Port Newark: 2805s
Secaucus: Model 5
Fair Lawn: 2805s.

If anyone has more systems that they know of and they want to share up here or just want to talk about the sirens in this area, feel free to reply to the message. Thank you!

Montville is a bit strange as the township has 3 fire departments but Fire District 1 (Montville Fire) has 3 stations, District 2 (Towaco) has 2 stations that I have found and District 3 (Pine Brook) has only 1 station I have found. Montville Fire Department Station 1 has an STL-10 built into a belltower which is sort of unique (follow link below), Montville Station 2 has a Model 5 and Station 3 has nothing, Towaca Station 1 has an STH-10 and Station 2 has nothing and Pine Brook has a Sentry 7V8H at it. I am not from New Jersey but I have done a bunch of traveling around the state, I can never remember where the line between North and South Jersey is... I have a bunch of sirens to add depending on where we are officially drawing the line LOL

For all of the times I have been by there, I never saw that STH-10 sitting there... that is a pretty cool mount also!

Thanks for all the replies guys. From what I've heard the official line between north and south jersey is I 195 lol :lol: . I never knew Morris county had such an array of sirens! Just thought it was the more populated areas like Bergen, Essex, Etc.

Both those HORs are in ironbound. I never knew that they were in those locations I've passed there frequently. The only ones I've seen are the Rusted out one at the corner of Market and Broad and a Factory mounted Thunderbolt in North Newark off route 21.
