That is a very nice assortment of sirens. Well done! It is amazing how the Thunderbolt has not been touched but those 2 other sirens seem to have been repainted. Also the "festive" Eclipse is interesting.

Very interesting! Reminds me of the trips to Syracuse and back! Also, as mentioned, it is quite possible that the Blower for the Thunderbolt in Mount Jackson is underground. It is the same deal as Lyncourt's 1000A, I would assume it has something to do with space. Why is there a Thunderbolt in Mount Jackson, anyway? Civil Defense?

I'm not exactly sure why they have one either. CD seems unlikely given how isolated Mount Jackson is...although D.C. can't be ruled out (the town is about 88 miles to the WSW). Next time I'm up in that area I'll see if anyone at the FD knows.
