HISTORY - Off viewing DuPage County's GIS map, in 1998 (as of 3/28/21) 3 XT22s or RSH-10s and 3 STH-10s were spotted. These sirens do not leave adequate coverage for the town though, so there are very likely more that were just hard to find. No guarantees on the models but they appear to be the types listed. An inactive Fedelcode Model 7 stands at 666 Vista Ave, and an STH-10 used to stand at the corner of N Michigan Ave and E Lake St. The Model 7 was the original (as far as is known) fire siren for town located on the water tower at what is now the center two parking spaces on the west side of the parking lot behind (south of) 105 E Lake St.
