Chicago Decommissioned Thunderbolts

[Brendan W]

Does anyone know the locations to the decomm'd (decommissioned) fire stations that have sirens on them?

I have a bunch of old siren photos that I saved off of eBay because they were Chicago installations and I knew someday they would come in handy.




Well I do believe they just served their purpose. A couple of the photos were labled "Atop the field building in Chicago" They must've had every type of siren up there to see how far they would carry. Anyways I went on Bing and spotted something.

Looks like a sirex to me. Some one needs to get up there and snap some pics.

Very cool photos! The first one was actually taken in Boston, not Chicago. It would be cool if someone could get up on the building and take some photos.

Ah! No wonder then. I always thought it was kind of weird that they had a random M series sterling.

Is this one an HOR product? It looks almost like a smaller version of the Super Sirex. Even the rotator mech. looks very similar.

Yessir it was! It was one of the earlier ones made due to the fact that there is no cover over the motor. Plus it's a 50 horse too. The later ones (like yours) had the cover over both choppers and the motor, and then the 40 HP motor.

Maybe I'm wrong, but judging by how close the people are to it that siren is considerably smaller than a Super Sirex.

They weren't too big. But they were pretty cool looking.
