Apparently San Bernardino has a Gas Mobil Directo

Mon May 08, 2023 4:17 pm

I found this on a California Map. I did not know this was here. With that being said, does anyone have any information about it?
I also found it on Maps. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tom+G ... 11bwh447pm

Hello, fellow siren enthusiasts. I am losing interest, but will be back on the board from time to time.

Kole Moore contacted the fire station a few weeks ago and apparently they actually had this particular unit running about 7-8 years ago. It's really hard to see through the trees. Would love to have a local go snap some better pictures

Never knew that, super cool. I recently picked up a new camera and would hope to get out here soon.
Would they be willing to do it again? :?:

Would be fantastic to have you go out and take some pictures and chat it up with the guys. Curious to what you find.

Howdy, I’m Kole. I own a 1950’s Darley Model 2 (Helmet Variant.), a DSA 4X2, and a few other items that are related to sirens.

I saw some of those as well, it looks great despite being 68ish years old

There's a possibility that it might've been refurbished before in its lifetime. Then again, it's probably shielded from the sun by all the trees.

Currently trying to obtain this unit, I’ve got some good progress so far.
