I filmed this video back in 2013 after making repairs.

A couple years later this siren quit working. I was told by City maintenance that they opted to power off this siren indefinitely and to reinstall their 2001-130.

My last project for Valley Springs was coordinating the reinstallation of their 2001 with West Shore Services in 2015. This project raised the siren from a 30 foot rotted/skinny pole to a new 50 foot Class II pole. This helped to ensure the City was adequately covered by a battery backup siren.

Siren Model: Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003

Signal: Wail/Attack

Location: Valley Springs, South Dakota in Minnehaha County

Camera Model: Apple iPhone
