The Siren Board

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been mentioned before, but there is a P-50 in Sweetwater. I came across it on Waymarking.com.

I know of something even cooler than the P-50 in Sweetwater... http://goo.gl/maps/TcGgk

Crazy mounted P-50s. Square horned Sentries.

*explodes*

Thanks for letting me have that moment.

Lord, Sweetwater has the motherload! Is that Sentry active?

Yep, it's still in service along with the rest of the older sirens. Look closely at the controllers on this one and the P-50; all of the older mechanical sirens were fitted with Federal Controllers at some point within the last few years. They also have a couple of Thunderbolts, three or four Sentry 15V2Ts (including the one I mentioned), the originally-posted P-50, and a few ATI HPSS-32 units on the outskirts of towns in a few of the more recently-developed neighborhoods. As far as I'm aware they haven't replaced any of the older sirens (yet).

Nice! When do they test? I'm hoping that I'll somehow be able to go down there, that would be awesome!

Now that I don't know. You'd have to call either city hall or the fire department and see if someone at either of those could tell you when they test. For all we know, they may not even have a regular testing schedule; seems like from what I've heard in the past, it's somewhat of a trend with a lot of the municipalities outside of the DFW area to just test whenever they think about it...

Sweetwater sounds like an intriguing place. I'll make a siren map (unless someone already has)

Had to redo the map on the newer (publicly-viewable) account. I wish they'd just let you transfer over maps from connected accounts.

You have a map for everything, don't you?

Yeah, I'd like it if Google came up with that transfer thing.
