in a recent visit to PA, i noticed something very sad and disturbing. quite a few t128s from tmi are gone. infact i didnt see even one. the one in paxtang, and the one near hershey are gone. the sterling m10 in rienholds, gone. it is nowhere on firehouse property. most soberingly, the 1003 in palmyra is gone also. the paxtang sht10 failed, not surprisingly. however not all is lost. I confirmed some 2x03 whelens at the distribution center at capital city airport. tragically i am to lazy to locate them via maps. but there are 3 in total. also. a federal model q siren was spotted and heard at the greble u pull it yard, in greble. idk if new ringold has a siren. it is underpowered, however it winds down good. runs weekdays at 3:30 pm, and 3:45 pm to signal the junkyard goers to leave. somebody needs to record it. it is attatched to the fence next to the battery shed, and can only be seen well if you enter the junkyard. coordinates are 4.42397N, 76.34945W.

here is one of the whelens behind tree Imageprint screen windows

Oh, no! That is not good. (I do hope someone gets a recording of the siren, though.)

The TMI sirens have been gone since January, and Paxtang's fire company was recently shut down, which is why the siren "failed". But what is confusing me here is the Thunderbolt in Palmyra being gone, same with the Rienholds Sterling. Could you PM me with some details regarding both, maybe some images? Thanks!

Yeah I was about to say. TMI decommissioned back in September of 2019.

i know they decomissioned but i was under the impression that the sirens were given to the comunities for private use
