That was info., and I am glad they are at least keeping one of the 3T22's. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your Thunderbolt? Also, where do you get your info. on what sirens the city was keeping?Josh(bearlovesox) wrote:As Archon has stated many times the 500 was a donation to the city back in 1959. This was placed on the FD at the time and replaced a Decot (one of the first two Decots built). They will use the 500 until she dies. The Thunderbolt was purchased around 1963 and was located on a bank downtown (one of three fallout shelters designated that year). In 1971 they built a new City Hall/FD and both sirens were placed on the hose drying tower. The 1003 was obviously purchased for CD reasons, which leaves the very interesting question of why it was a 1003 they purchased as they already had a fire siren. It is thought that the 3T22s were purchased in either the 70s or 80s sometime. Again not too sure why they went with 3Ts instead of 2Ts. (Just a neat bit of history to be shared :p sorry for straying from the topic)
