While in Houston for thanksgiving I spotted another whelen near Bellfort and Fondren. This one is at Fire Station 82. Here are some pictures.

Anybody know of any others :wink: ?

***UPDATE***

I went through the entire list of Houston fire stations on Google maps and found several more Whelens.
Here is the map link

While looking through the fire stations I also found a couple more Thunderbolt locations. Whether they are still there or not I do not know. I will try to make an old system map later on.

There is a Whelen Vortex at the Fire Station in Nassau Bay.

Updated original post to include more locations. It looks like Houston has more Whelens then I thought.
