Louisiana sirens

Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:47 am

I'm trying to get siren locations in Louisiana, because I'm going to head out there someday. I'm after some locations in the state itself.

Here's what I have so far:

Locations will be greatly accepted!

I seem to remember there being an STL-10 or other similar siren on top of the fire department in Oakdale, LA.

New Orleans has T-135's on the College Campus. And also when my dad went to New Orleans, he said he saw Whelens in the suburb cities. He didn't tell me where, though.

There aren't many sirens in the northern part of Louisiana... I think I've seen one out of numerous visits....

I have seen several sirens in the southern part of the state....the whelens are all heading out of new Orleans towards BR on I-10 I don't remember the names either but several are visible from the interstate.

Baton rouge has a couple of whelens around LSU and I've seen two 2*10's in Lake Charles.

Louisiana isn't the most siren friendly state :cry:

You talking about these Whelens? http://goo.gl/maps/zrdJq They're all located throughout the Saint James Parish area.

Does anyone have a clue about Alexandria (Rapides Parish) sirens? I think I found an SD-10 on top of the Capital One building downtown.

There's another inactive Thunderbolt 1000T from Shreveport's old CD system left standing.
