The Siren Board

Just head N on Moore Rd. off I24; turn L on Brainerd, and the pharmacy(brown brick building) will be on the R.

It's been several years since I've been in that part of Chattanooga; don't know if the siren is still there.

Last time I was there was around late 2009; the siren was still standing at the time.

There is also another Thunderbolt visible from the interstate atop an apartment complex. I can't remember its exact location..someone fill me in?

This one was still standing as of December of last year. I happened to pass by it again while we were visiting relatives that live nearby, and it's still pointed in the same direction as it's always been.

That one is perched atop the Mary Walker Towers at West 25th & South Market Streets, and can be seen from I-24 just before you get to the big curve on the west side of town.

I know of a few...In Harrodsburg, Ky there are 3 3T22s, two Sentry sirens, and a Thunderbolt 1003. In the small community of Salvisa, there is a 2t22 and right beside it is what I think a Federal dual head. In Danville, there are mostly Whelen Vortexes however, there is at least one 2t22 that I know of.

About Somerset, Ky, I do know of a Thunderbolt 1003 and what looked like an old sterling, both located on top of the downtown police dept.

There's definitely a siren there, but I don't remember what it is. I've seen a picture of a similar siren here before. I believe it's either a Darley or an old Sterling vertical. Definitely worth checking out. Unfortunately, that's a 3-hour drive from here and if I do end up going to Lake Winnie, it'll be dark by the time I get to Somerset.

Even though it is long believed that Lexington had a mix of DSA's and Modulators, we never actually had DSA's. We used to have a mix of Whelen 2016's and Modulators, however recently the system has been upgraded to only Modulators and FSK radio tones.

Middlesboro has 4 Thunderbolt 1003s. One of them is by the mall, the other near middlesboro intermediate school, and one by the high school, and one by a paper plant.
