Sedgwick County, KS has 134 sirens, the majority of them being Thunderbolts, and most of them are located in Wichita. Here's what I know of:
Wichita: Exact numbers unknown, but there are Thunderbolts and 2001s scattered all over the place.
Park City: (3)2T22, (2)2001
Kechi: 2001 (used to be a 2T22)
Valley Center: (7)Thunderbolt, 2001, Whelen 4008
Andale: (2)2T22, Model 2 (shut down for over 20 years; I may be able to take it down someday)
Colwich: Model 5, 2001, 2T22 (all located about 100' of each other; their system is overkill!)
Mount Hope: 2001, Model 5 (located at water tower and used as a noon siren)
Bentley: 2T22, Whelen 4004
Maize: (2)2001, Thunderbolt
Haysville: 2001

Burrton: EOWS 816, Model 5
Wellington: Whelen 2804, number unknown

Halstead: 2001 (they need more sirens)
