It's funny you should mention this...I was going to say something about it too. I live in NoVa as well - and am very bummed about the number of sirens that have disappeared here in the last several years. But on a positive note, both Ashburn and Sterling still have their sirens - the Ashburn siren is actually not a Darley STH, but an HOR. It is actually still mounted (without its housing) on the hose tower but is very hard to see. I spoke with them directly about it. Sterling still has their STH-10 too, and like Ashburn they plan to keep it for nostalgic purposes. It too was taken down so it doesn't get lost when they knock down the old station. I do fear that it might only be a matter of time before all of the sirens in Loudoun County (my home county) are gone though. Not even 10 years ago, nearly every volunteer station in the county had one and it seems like half of them are gone now.tionstav wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 2:16 amI would like to mark two siren pins as removed for the "Various Sirens In Virginia" Map.
The following sirens have disappeared the last time I visited their locations in Northern Virginia.
Sterling VA VFD #611 Federal Signal STH-10 was removed. (Google Maps Coordinates/Link: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9996321 ... 222,20.75z)
The Ashburn VA VFD Darley STH-10 was thrown out for a new building. (An updated street view also supports this) (Google Maps Coordinates/Link: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0448857 ... 599,19.58z)
RIP every siren near my location.![]()
