Trip to Pennsylvania
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:19 am
Hello members. Sorry for a late post.
I was on a trip to Pennsylvania from March 8 to March 10 because for a funeral I had to go to (my great uncle passed away, as you probably already know that). I was able to shot siren photos when I was there mostly in Pennsylvania.
Here are the pics:
^First stop is the Model 5/7 located in downtown Canonsburg, PA on top of Canonsburg Fire Department. I was told it's used for fire calls and tested weekly. He didn't say the exact date when it's tested.
^After I went to the funeral (March 9), I went to lunch with my cousins at a different location, it was luckily to be in Slippery Rock, PA at Slippery Rock Fire Department (that has the EOWS 115)! I got recent status about the siren, they fixed the siren a few years ago. The siren is now used for tornado warnings. It's tested at the first Monday of each month at 6:00 PM.
^Another stop is the Federal Signal Model 2 located in Grove City, PA at Center Street (208) and Tidball Avenue. I think it's used for fire calls and tornado warnings.
^Another stop is the Model 2/2T located in Grove City, PA at Main Street (58) near Breckenridge Street. I think it's used for fire calls and tornado warnings. Sorry for blurry pics of the siren, it was dark time.
^Starting to return home, I was able to stop by the Federal Model B (single head) located in Bridgeville, PA at Kirwan Heights Fire Department. It was used for fire calls but now it's not used. Location first discovered by VASirens.
^Not really expected plan to stop by the Federal Model 5C/7C (I was told it's coded!!) located in Scott Township, PA at Bower Hill Volunteer Fire Department. The siren does alert, attack, or pulse for any area fire calls.
^Last stop is the Sentry Siren (model unknown) located in Burnsville, WV at Burnsville Fire Department(?) near a school and near Interstate 79. Usage status unknown.
That's all!
