Abandoned Siren In Saco

[MaineCivilDefense]

A while ago the Saco Central Fire Station in Saco, Maine was put up for sale. The thing is, on top of the building was a Whelen 3016, which was installed in 2005 and was sold from the Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant, who had removed their sirens after their decommissioning.

Here you can see where it was placed on google maps, you just need to go back to 2009 to see it installed:

Unfortunately, the siren is now gone as the fire station was recently sold and was turned into apartments. What i am curious about is, where did it go? Was it sold online, or did the Maine Yankee take it back to their siren junkyard (which I'm curious on where it is, I've been looking for it for a while).

Hope it didn't get scrapped

Did you see that thing that resembled a horn on there? what was that its gone as of 2017.

Yes, it was a Whelen 3016 speaker. What i am curious about is where it went as the building it was on was a Fire Station that recently was converted into apartments.

What I'm wondering is where the siren could've gone, did it get sold online, or did the Maine Yankee take it back as it was originally theirs?

Maybe the construction company who converted the fire station into apartments had taken it.

Check Govdeals and see if it's being auctioned on there. You never know.

Iv'e checked GovLiquidation, and all i have found are some light bars.

What i think happened is that the Construction Company who converted the Fire Station into Apartments had taken it. I have bought things in the past from old Gas Stations and Stores that were removed by Construction Contractors, and they oftenly don't know how much their stuff is worth

It might've been taken back by the Yankee, but i doubt it. They were the ones who sold it to the Fire Department.
