ARCHIVED: Mystery Sirens (2008-3/2021)

[Ziginox]

What is this thing? I found it in Dahlonega, GA while poking around the UNG campus off a tip from the county fire chief, looking for an ES-2000...P1040958.JPG

Maybe a Master Blaster? It might be just a PA system.

Jackson, MI Fire Station 3 (closed). Look at the siren on the roof. Perhaps a Sparton? The siren is no longer used. It was turned off when the 2001 went up on a pole next to the Fire Station.

That appears to be a Darley model 3 or 5 missing the bottom part of the housing. Also, it's pretty funny that there is a West shore services truck in the pic.

Cool, I didn't notice the truck I'll have to look again. As for the siren the bottom isn't missing. Jackson had 3 of these at one point they all looked the same except the color. The ones at Fire Station 2 and 3 were red and one at the Airport that was a sea green color. The sirens at Station 2 and the Airport were removed. All were the same shape probably placed in the late 50's or early 60's. They were still active up till they were replaced by the 2001's in the late 90's. The one pictured is the only one standing. The other 2 were removed a long time ago. Thanks, for the info.

I was in union NJ a month ago and i think i found what looks to be a HOR siro-drone or Fedelcode model siren on top of an elementary school.

Would love to know the make and model of this siren. Decomissioned in 1990, outside Buffalo ny, townline fire dept

Sterling K5, the scales give it away, although it does look a little too short and fat. I wonder if there were smaller K-series sirens.
