Newport News to Richmond hunt, 11/23/13

Sun Nov 24, 2013 4:09 pm

Went to Richmond yesterday to do some shopping, and stopped at some sirens on the way.

First off, we have Surry Power Station siren #58, located at the Denbigh Early Childhood Center in Newport News. I've known about this one for years, but never knew what it was (though it looked scary to me at the time) until I became interested in sirens.

Next, we have Surry siren #10, located at a community center at the intersection of US 60 and Plantation Drive in James City County. This is one of the lower-mounted sirens in the system.

Next, Surry siren #54, located at James City Fire Department Station 2, just down the road from Busch Gardens Williamsburg. In stark contrast to #10, this is one of the highest sirens in the system.

Next, yet another Surry siren, #57, located at Quarterpath Park in Williamsburg. This one is directly across the street from numerous houses.

Next, an ASC E-Class EC-4 (originally misidentified as an ATI) at the College of William and Mary's School of Education. The College's sirens are, to my knowledge, the only ASCs in the state. Interestingly, this siren stands on the former site of the hospital where I was born.

And finally, a Model 5/7 at the Centerville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company in Goochland County. I'm not sure if it's active or not, but it looks like it's in good shape. This photo was taken much later in the day than the others, hence the poor lighting.

That's all from this trip, but there may be even more soon. Stay tuned.
