Highly recommend this company to cities looking for mass notification/ outdoor warning siren installations. Heaven for a siren enthusiast too lol. Besides all the great options they have to offer for choosing a visit to the "Siren Graveyard", they also provide neat, and organized outdoor warning siren installations. The workers are very friendly and helpful here as well.
