Re: Help on digging up CD and Siren info via public records.

I have not seen any other sirens around town, and whatever is in the tower could not be powerful enough to cover the whole town. Fifty years ago, Baker City was larger than it is now, so there must have been other sirens around.

Boise had an old system of Thunderbolts, and one of them is still visible on the roof of a building near the state capitol. They more recently installed a system of 2001's in the areas prone to flash floods, and I believe that those have also been removed.

I don't believe Ontario has had anything different than they have now. If there had been a third siren, it would have probably been mounted west of the high school.

Another Oregon town with a vanished system is Klamath Falls. They had a Thunderbolt on the old courthouse, which was torn down after an earthquake, and the only siren anywhere in that area is a Sterling Little Giant on a fire station near where Hwy. 66 splits off 97.
Which building by the capital? Or at least a direction.

Go to the capitol building and look to your south.
