Re: ACA Hurricane locations help

I thought only one hurricane was left? In wisconsin The Hurricane in Milwaukee is the last one in service, but not the last in existence. Several are in private possession. I did forget to say as well that the Garland Hurricane was removed in 2004 and sold in an auction to a member on the siren boa...

Re: ACA Hurricane locations help

I've been searching up locations of ACA Hurricanes recently, and as I've been trying to find them on historical aerial views to try to find their exact locations, I can't find them. I know this one is in Garland, TX somewhere near Fire station #3, but the fire station wasn't even built back when th...

Re: Uniquely Mounted Sirens Thread

If we're talking about mounts with maintenance in mind, This Thunderbolt in Schenectady, NY has a whole gigantic platform just for working on it! I'm guessing either Chrysler was here before they just slapped a Thunderbolt into its place, or this whole tower was for the Thunderbolt. It's also off ce...

Re: The FS 508 siren map

Cook County, Georgia: Most of these units haven't been installed yet, but it is safe to say they will be soon. They're replacing a system of 2 inactive Loudoun ES-2000's. 31.13872, -83.44455 (installed) 31.15502, -83.41194 (installed) 31.13115, -83.38178 (installed) 31.13323, -83.33029 (installed) ...

Re: What siren can be heard the furthest away?

Sorry to be impolite, but what exactly are you asking? If you're wondering what the loudest siren is after the P-50, Eclipse DDS answered that one above. If you're wondering about how not-as-loud sirens (like how the Thunderbolt isn't as loud as the P-50) can be heard from farther away than the P-50...

Re: Quick 3T22 and Thunderbolt 1003 Question

I think most of Federal Signal's sirens were named before the other signals had been invented. At the time of it's release, Either they did think about the pulse signal and decided to not count it as a signal or it wasn't even thought about it before. The same can also be said for a 3T22. If it’s ca...

Re: Question about ACA Hurricane motor

Looking at pictures of the chopper assembly, they use Doerr Electric 1HP induction motors. They apparently bought them the way they were without having them custom built. To be honest, I had to search some of this up on the Wiki (I'm starting to feel like I don't actually know that much about sirens...

You are correct, that is an E.A Laboratories Sireane Jr. From my research, some came with 12 ports and some had 8.
Awesome! The wiki only says that they only come in 8 ports. Does that help with the year it was produced in?

What type of siren is this?

I finally had my dream of getting a siren come true! The only thing that I need help with is the brand and model of the siren. I’m thinking that it might be a E.A Laboratories Sireane Jr, but I don’t exactly know for sure because the tag is missing, or it didn’t even have one at all, as there aren't...
