The Siren Board

Thanks. As an add-on it appears Surry siren #32 was either moved 900' South of it's current position or just outright removed. It's very hard to tell with the new icky imagery.

Considering how the system is no-longer to be used, I'm surprised that sirens that are on property are still standing... I think by now they would've at least contacted Dominion Energy to get it off their porch.

South Boston has a series of Sentry Sirens than I remember from growing up there. Here is what I’ve found (other than the new addition at the FD)

36°43'05"N 78°54'25"W
https://airraidsirens.net/forums/downlo ... w&id=11960 36°43'57"N 78°54'52"W

36°43'52"N 78°56'05"W

36°42'20"N 78°55'26"W

These are all identical, with the horn extensions left in. I think they’re single phase 10v2ts. There may be more but this is what I remember, feels like the east side of town should have one but no luck.

Leesville Dam also has a water release siren, I believe a model 5

Also found this old federal at the Lynchburg Airport


37°19'44"N 79°12'05"W

Thank you!

On some news, it appears Congressional School in va has replaced it's omni Whelen with an ASC siren? I haven't been able to get the best glances yet!!

I think it is about time we solve the mystery of the Whelen in Falls Church.

It already had been solved... for a good while (unless if Bijay had just now changed the pin).

Yes it's been so for about two years now. I didn't figure out the original cell-count until about a month ago.
