3t22's being removed in Reedsburg, WI?

[ACAPenetrator50]

Ok, I'm confused now. So what sirens are being removed and what city are they going to?

As far as I assume, the 3T22 by the T-135 is the one being removed and sent to be installed in Prairie du Sac. So, the other two 3T22s will remain. That leaves 2 2001s, 2 3T22s, 1 T-135, and the 500 which will sound for tornado warnings too now.

This is all great info, and I'm very happy they are keeping 2 of the 3t22's! I live near the one on Fuhrman Dr., is that one staying? I can definately hear that one when they turn it on.

Yep! The one being removed is in Ramsey Park, Fuhrman is staying.

Why did they decide to remove the 1003 and not the 500? After all, the 1003 is much louder and I thought they used hi-lo for firecalls, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

Its 3T22, not 1003.

There used to be a 1003 mounted right next to the 500.

As Archon has stated many times the 500 was a donation to the city back in 1959. This was placed on the FD at the time and replaced a Decot (one of the first two Decots built). They will use the 500 until she dies. The Thunderbolt was purchased around 1963 and was located on a bank downtown (one of three fallout shelters designated that year). In 1971 they built a new City Hall/FD and both sirens were placed on the hose drying tower. The 1003 was obviously purchased for CD reasons, which leaves the very interesting question of why it was a 1003 they purchased as they already had a fire siren. It is thought that the 3T22s were purchased in either the 70s or 80s sometime. Again not too sure why they went with 3Ts instead of 2Ts. (Just a neat bit of history to be shared :p sorry for straying from the topic)
