Taycheedah Soundmaster
I was shoveling snow at a relative's house around noon, and as the sirens started to sound, I expected the Soundmaster to remain silent, but it roared to life and tested for about a minute and a half. I thought the siren was slated for replacement and was broken. Does anyone have information about this siren and if it was slated? (Sorry if this is an unnecessary topic.) -Sentry88

Hello, fellow siren enthusiasts. I'm going to be back on the board from time to time but probably won't post much.

Very interesting! It's been "up for replacement" for nearly 20 years now, and yet there it still is! Hopefully it isn't replaced for a long time.

20 years?! I thought it was only for about 5 this year. That is a lot longer than I thought.

Re: Taycheedah Soundmaster
Yeah it's kind of a unique siren/location. To be honest, FDL county is kind of weird with its replacments. Not sure why they got rid of all the RM130's for instance. They were working just fine, a couple needed battery replacements. Also the St Peter Thunderbolt. Just needed a collector/chopper brush service more than likely, but they go ahead and remove it and install a half burned out Allertor lol

Yeah, and there are also some coverage gaps in some areas that could use sirens. I passed the siren, and it seemed like it was leaning a bit. But it sounded perfectly fine.

Huh. Was leaning a bit more when I saw it. Cool photo though!
