I've been meaning to post this, but next to the FD building in Frankston, there's a double pole mount with a windsock on it. It's been years since I could've possibly seen whatever system they had before their Sentries, and then, I was too young to know what siren was there. Here's a streetview link.

Re: Frankston TX, Possible Denver Siren Mount?
It could've been any number of things. A lot of sirens have been used on dual pole mounts. A denver may not be out of the question though.

If anything that was most likely where an M-10 was. Those were extremely popular sirens here, especially in East TX.

Several years ago Rusk Fire Dept. used to sound their siren at high noon everyday.
