Re: Siren Graveyard In Texas?

You can find sirens from government auction places, just bookmark them and check them so often to see if a city is auctioning their sirens.

Does anyone know if there is a siren graveyard or other place to get sirens in Texas? Thanks!
You know, you can always check Gifford.

Re: ACA Hurricane (Greenville, TX)

I saw a walk-around video on YouTube of this siren and another ACA hurricane in Greenville, Texas. One of the ACA hurricanes was next to an ACA penetrator and the hurricane was disconnected from power. The other ACA hurricane (the one shown in the first post) is connected to power with the switch t...

Question: What Exactly Did Happen to Grand Prairie's Old System?

Question: What exactly did happen to the city of Grand Prairie's old siren system? Good one. After calling around and being redirected several times, I finally got an answer. A few old ones were scrapped, while the rest were donated to VFD's. I'll keep researching and calling around. I have a theor...

Re: 1964 Civil Defense Matching Funds Siren List "The List"

Evidently those high numbers of small sirens are vehicle sirens. They could be used to alert in an attack. LA has 200 type 611s listed. There is an error listing in Texas. Port Arthur is on the list twice. Where is there a horn-less STH in Grand Prairie? seems they left it up. Not to get off topic,...

Dallas Siren Enhancement

I got an email today from an emergency management staff member, after I asked about having coverage gap fillings, and he replied saying that they are procuring 20 new sirens. I will keep posting when the new sirens have been implemented.

Re: 4 Failed Sirens 7/5/17

What's funny was that Fort Worth, who never tests if it is 40% cloud cover or more, tested today, despite the chance of thunderstorms. Probs the new EMA director.....

Re: 4 Failed Sirens 7/5/17

Yeah it sucked big time. I hate how weather says it'll thunderstorm for like all day and then it ends up only thunder storming for like 2 hours MAX. So the cities want to play it safe and say no testing. But the thunderstorms didn't come until now (6:45pm). It was perfectly fine at 12:00. But, it's ...

Re: Farmersville, TX 12 Second Alert Test

Yep. They installed 2 new sirens at the end of the town. They can't be heard from the densely populated area.
