Here is the pic, although the stator looks more like an M, possible evolution of the siren?

There is a close up of that siren but my phine won't allow me to attach it. I'm wondering that myself however, but the person who took this photo went MIA from Facebook and never took any additional photos. It almost looks coded. For all I know though without actually being able to climb up and look at it it's nothing more than a Sterling that burned out and got rigged up.

Where exactly is this located? I am in the process of forming a list of current and former locations of these sirens. I would like to have a closer look!

EDIT: Found it. There is a model 2 directly across the road. Thanks!

Have a look at the modified Denver siren in Riverton Nebraska!
Sedgwick Colorados Denver is still up, although not in use anymore.

Nothing more than a late Denver Quadruplex with an oil barrel over the heads. That siren actually caused a pointless fight between myself and Tyler Shaw for no other reason than I asked for an address of the fire hall. He still hasn't unblocked me.

Attached are some photos of the early sirens made by Interstate Machine Products (Rochester, NY) as well as a closeup and some zoomed in shots of the siren Jason posted above, believed to be either an early Sterling or a former M series siren that burned up.
