This rescue happened on June 9, 2018 and August 4, 2018. This is a video of a Thunderbolt 1000 siren graveyard rescue. I was the one who tried to get all of these Thunderbolts. But with a huge success! This is my best siren enthusiast moment ever! I apologize if this video is too long. All Thunderbolts (except *2, not 3) were sold to McCraine Warning Systems. The RCMs/AR Timers/radios were not with the siren graveyard. All Thunderbolts were originally serviced to either Catawba Nuclear Power Plant or Oconee Nuclear Power Plant.
I discovered this Thunderbolt siren graveyard in 2014. The previous Great Falls FD fire chief said that the county is not selling any of these sirens. The Thunderbolt siren graveyard is for a future siren system project. In early 2016, I went back to see if they are still going to do with any of Thunderbolts, but the new Great Falls fire chief (he's also with the Great Falls Police Department as a police chief) said "contact the Chester County EMA, you can give me your business card and I will give the card to the EMA". Later on I tried to contact the EMA but it didn't work. But in fall 2017, Hurricane Irma went through Chester County as a tropical storm and produced some tornadoes. In October 2017, the Chester County EMA decided to buy and install 3 ASC T-135s (actually, the T-135s are still not hooked up as of summer 2018 yet). In late November 2017, that's when I tried to contact the Chester County EMA about the Thunderbolt siren graveyard again to see if they will sell them after the T-135s being installed. In late winter 2018, the Chester County EMA director #1 agreed with selling the Thunderbolts, but EMA director #2 (Chester County EMA has 2 EMA directors) has not agreed yet. Late winter 2018/spring 2018, the EMA has official agreed with selling the Thunderbolt siren graveyard to me. But they will need one Thunderbolt from the graveyard to be restored and returned to the county for future installation.
