City Of Dallas, Texas Siren System

These map scans are from the City of Dallas 1974 Emergency Operations plan. Most of the sirens are located at fire stations which is where the city installed their first sirens in 1959. Those sirens were controlled by the fire personnel at the stations.The "radio controlled" sirens on these maps were added later though I don't know exactly when. These scans are fairly large image files so they might take a while to load.

Most of the locations on the maps are accurate. I do remember the City of Dallas getting more sirens in the late 1970s and at that time they moved some sirens around. For example on the quadrant "I" map there is a siren listed at Fire Station 57. That station hasn't had a siren for over 25+ years. I do remember going by Station 57 years ago and seeing where the siren pole was mounted so I do know there was a siren there at one time. It must have been moved in the late 1970s. The quadrant "I" map also lists a siren at Reinhardt Elementary School which hasn't had a siren for as long as I can remember. I haven't checked the locations of all the other siren but if quadrant "I" has had a few locations changed then the other areas of the city probably have had some changed as well when the sirens were added in the late 1970s. I just remembered that in quadrant II the map shows a siren at the Central Fire Station. There hasn't been a siren there for a very long time because the building was sold many years ago.
