More PA sirens (Dave, for goodness sake get access to the map. )

1. Palmyra's T-Bolt 1003 40.3073, -76.59772
2. Model 5/7 at Keystone FC 40.37439, -76.30383
3.No longer mystery siren at Myerstown's Goodwill FC (Sterling K5) 40.3752, -76.30839

Good pictures, roaming my birth county this time... strange thing.. all of the sirens pictured are no longer used, Palmyra just built a new firehouse and the siren is being taken out of service from the old station. Keystone of Myerstown hasn't used that Model 5 in more years than I can count and the Goodwill (were I have several friends and have hung out a time or two LOL) built a new firehouse and has since shut off the siren. It would still sound if you pushed the button but it no longer goes off when there is a fire call, it is an 8 port Sterling K5

Do you suppose that I could get someone to sound it off by request for a video?

Here is a Berks County, Pa map I threw together, everything is there except Vinemont which may or may not still have a firehouse.. they have/had a Model 2 but merged into Spring Township Fire Department who has taken down sirens at the other departments.

That is my hometown, it was sitting on the ground in front of their firehouse for a week or two and than got taken away. I was hoping they were going to put another siren up but it would appear that they are just going to run without one, as far as I know it hasn't been active for a number of years.

Do you know when it was removed exactly?

It was removed April 18th and was gone by May

of this year?

Oxford, GA's siren pair is active Calvin...
