Last night I had a meeting with our new EMA director and he mentioned that the City of Delaware added to their system within the past couple weeks. They had a system of 6 2001DCs installed in 1997 so it made sense to install a 2001-130 on the south end of town where all the growth has occurred.
It's located right behind the Delaware Center for Older Adults (dumb name) off of Cheshire Rd. near the roundabout.
Zoomed in a little.

As far as my meeting went, we covered quite a bit and it really seemed like me and Brian Gallagher at the EMA were totally on the same page on putting in a county-wide system. We talked about systems that other cities had and the problems that they've seen, mainly Franklin County and Dublin and also Delaware like how the county pays $1,200 per siren for all 151 in the county and how Dublin just about has a whole extra siren stored for parts (as well as extra housings for their 2750s, 2805s, and 2905s). He's meeting with commissioners Friday to tell them what he would like to see and what all I told him.
Things are looking really really good, we're not going with any electronic sirens whatsoever here, but I'm not going to spill the beans just yet because I want to avoid any confrontation with any other vendors that may read anything on this board. I will tell you that we're not gonna need as many sirens as initially planned and they're actually gonna sound decent. Some will also be hooked up to backup generators already installed at different county-owned buildings. It's really looking good!
Also, here's the only siren that my township has, a Fedelcode Model 5, and it's been disconnected.
