A small mystery siren on a water tower.

Fri Nov 25, 2022 9:40 pm

For some reason, I decided to check on this town called, "Newfolden." I just realized that this town already has an STH-10 at its fire station, but they also have a water tower a couple of blocks from it, and I decided to check it out. Then, I saw this little siren on one of the supporting beams, could this be a possible siren? Oh yeah, and I checked the Minnesota siren map, and this thing isn't on it.

That's a Darley Champion (2HP series). FYI you can identify Champions like those from it's iconic helmet top and the many cutouts on the sides

These are also known as Darley Weatherproof Champions, as they used a protective housing vs the simple housing of regular vertical Champions.
