Thunderbolt 1003 Fire/Tornado Siren Test, Hi-Lo - Silverstreet, SC 07/03/2021
Ғылым және технология
*IMPORTANT UPDATE 05/28/2023: This siren was removed and was taken to the repair shop for repairs to the siren. The chopper motor is dead. County plans to reinstall this siren by spring 2024. I repeat, this siren will be reinstalled next year.*
Recorded on Saturday, July 3rd, 2021. This is a weekly fire/tornado siren test of the Newberry County Fire/Tornado Siren System. This siren was tested every Saturday at noon (now tested at the last Saturday of every month at noon). This siren was FIXED! I thought I was never gonna hear this siren in hi-lo anymore. Thanks to firefighters, emergency management, and siren maintenance for making this repair happen! Solenoid was fixed about a month ago. I tried to record this siren a month ago and siren failed due to radio failure. I also met up with SouthCarolinaSirens for this and he took a drone video for me. This siren is located in Silverstreet, SC at Silverstreet VFD.

The fact that this siren is still working (almost)perfectly just shows how much effort went into these things

1962 was it's installation date, so it is 57 years old as of now. What an old girl she is... This siren was possibly repainted in the 70's or 80's considering how rusty it would be if it was never taken care of (Though it is still pretty rusty). The tower that it's mounted to also looks clean, so the tower could have been repainted, too. Keep goin' strong, Silvertreet!

It's not. As the guy above said (who is somehow correct) it's a 1963 model. I'm guessing that they had to design a new weather cap in order to fit the solenoid wires. After 1964 I'm going to guess they just decided to use that cap for all thunderbolt types, 1003 or not.
