No idea what Redstone's old system was, but it was comprised of Federal, Sterling, and Altec sirens. The last of the old system's sirens is an abandoned Model 2 that still stands on the northern side of the Arsenal.T1000 Charlie wrote:I would be shocked if there weren't several Thunderbolts in a building somewhere on Redstone that were brand new. Flashback to 1965 kids!
Madison County didn't really have a siren system before the 2001s were installed. Well, there was one, but when you compare it to todays system, it wouldn't cover very much of the county, especially since a large portion of the system was comprised of Model 2s and another large portion was comprised of Altecs that were starting to show their age from what I understrand. Here's a thread I made on the old system for the county that includes a map of the old system:Sean juth wrote:I would like the 2001 sirens removed and replaced with sirens that reflect history of a city this is the reason why old sirens should never be replaced murrfarms is someone who believes this
There is a 2001 siren at Riverton intermediate school on homer nance road in New market I can't get a clear picture of what kind it is but it is most likely a 2001-srn because the school was built in 1995 along with the siren and also it has a smaller federal signal logo
I can't tell what kind it is because I would have to trespass on the property in order to see what kind it is

Schools, parks, and fire stations are exactly where you want the sirens to be. Schools and parks have lots of people outside at any given time, and most fire stations are in developed areas and are on city owned land where the siren can be easily placed without much disturbance. 90% of siren systems are laid out like this. Putting a siren in a rural area doesn’t make a whole lot of sense considering it’ll probably only cover 2 or 3 households.Sean juth wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 10:23 pmSorry about the huge bump up. Huntsville's sirens leave a lot to be desired. First of they have the stupid thought of only placing the sirens at schools, park's, and fire departments. This means that rural areas, where people most likely would be outside are not covered. The county really needs to look into their coverage map, and not spend money without citizen approval
